This stylish Swiss watch was Omega's first digital timepiece. Featuring a mineral ruby window, the LED display shines brightly and is triggered by a magnetic switch on the side.
This watch is famous because the casing was used by Will Bates for his NanoComm™ military ball-busting super computer. A computer that is so powerful it can hack any, supposedly secure, network in seconds.
The CyberCore™ prototype and technical support was sold at auction for $20 billion dollars, to an undisclosed recipient. This turns out to be a group of German industrialists based in Brazil, who are fed up with the present World Order, based on unsustainable growth, greed, and financial world domination, as artificially cheap imports are flooding the world's markets, leading to global warming and instability. The German group purchased NanoComm's super computer, for use in cloning experiments where DNA codes needed to be cracked and spliced with precision, to create enhanced replicants, based on human and other DNA extracts.
Having created the Panamanian Running Man, the Germans, working with Egyptologists who are keen to discover and reincarnate Cleopatra, manage to secure her preserved remains, from an underwater grave. They then successfully clone the last Pharaoh queen of Ancient Egypt, a scientific breakthrough that disturbs the US military and the CIA, as they realise the threat to homeland security.
An amateur archaeologist, John Storm, and his technology guru, Dan Hawk, are employed to recover Cleopatra's remains, but they are too late, discovering the mausoleum where the Queen was entombed, but find it empty, and recently disturbed.
John
and Dan are assisted by Hal,
the onboard Artificial Intelligence built into their hi-tech
trimaran, named the Elizabeth
Swann, after Disney's Pirates
of the Caribbean
character, played by Keira
Knightley.

The original watch casing is waterproof and tough. It is adjusted by brushing a magnet against on its reverse side in two special locations. Omega watches were worn on the Moon by Astronauts during NASA's famous landing.
