southcoast68 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hi all Apart from this being a hilarious bit from Top Gear, it clearly shows that Clarkson wears an Omega Planet Ocean. Anyway, just thought I'd share it. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furu Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 James May also has one, although the orange version. (not in this clip) I think, not shure, Clarkson had another Omega in previous seasons, a bond SMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furu Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Just remembered that he has a giant Railmaster too... I think he likes Omega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoast68 Posted August 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I believe Clarkson once wrote "the only thing in the world worse than a fake Rolex is a real one". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furu Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Manufacturers spend a fortune trying to generate brand loyalty. They sponsor sporting events, employ celebrity brand ambassadors, get their products seen in the latest blockbuster movies. They Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I could have sworn Clarkson wore a Panerai some years ago. I guess he has replaced it recently Not sure about May's or Hammond's choice of timepieces, but, knowing May's tendency towards sophistication, I would guess something along the lines of Patek or VC. Either way, I agree that Top Gear has gotten a bit silly at times (more so recently), but it is still the top car show of all time (Fifth Gear is a close 2nd). Here is Clarkson's take on watches. Good thread by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 The Top Gear episode where Clarkson tests out the new Lotus Evora is pretty awesome. Those guys will entertain for years to come I'm sure! BTW - great article Freddy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member X Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 lol I've seen hamster with a sub on, and I'm sure May has an IWC Porto? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 I believe Clarkson once wrote "the only thing in the world worse than a fake Rolex is a real one". I remember reading him say that as well The fact he went from SMP to PO Bond-style just shows his mentality... I love the Planet Ocean, but would rather not wear a watch at all than wear the same thing as Clarkson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
