Omega Co-Axial Chronometer Commercial

Well,  a while back, I posted on the sidebar (under the heading: Have You Noticed?) my discovery of a very enjoyable commercial with tons of class, I might add. Very seldom do I go to YouTube because I don't watch videos that remind me of the worse television show in history where people either do dumb things without thought or they plan them, get hurt and wonder why they got hurt. At any rate, the Omega commercial has now hit over 1.2 million views with 6-thousand plus likes to the 2 or 3 hundred who didn't like it. (They were probably filming their next video that I will never watch.)

Here are a few things about that commercial:

The song was composed by Harry Gregson-Williams. The title is called, "Smiling" from the Motion Picture, " Man on FIre " starring Denzel Washington.

In the commercial, the movements are:

1. The Sail Boat --because it was used in the America's Cup. Omega is the official clock of the race.

2. The Aston Martin--  because James Bond used it.

3. The Bike Race-- because it was run in the Olympics.

4. The Moon Walk-- because it was the first watch on the moon.

The deep baritone voice (thought not confirmed, is most likely that of Voice Over Voice Actor, Paul Dobson.

If you would like to view this amazing commercial, you can go to YouTube.com and search for the Omega Co-Axial Chronometer. It's well worth the time.

edited to add the name of the song and composer.
