Timepieces commemorating the sport of golf are not new. One name that echoes in every mind on the mention of timepieces celebrating golf is the Omega Constellation Double Eagle series of watches. The popular line that marks Omega’s relationship with golf has now added one more timepiece to its range. The new member is christened the Omega Constellation Double Eagle 4-Counters Orange Gold watch. The new model flaunts an 18k orange gold case. In Omega’s terms, 18k gold means metal is composed of 75% gold and nearly 24% copper which is responsible for the orange color. Powered by the Swiss automatic Omega in-house caliber Co-Axial 389, this timepiece boasts of a black dial with a truncated inverted “Clous de Paris” motif. The watch gets its name from the counters whose hands are made from 18kt orange gold.
The sub-dials stand for the small seconds, a seven-day recorder and 12-hour and 30-minute counters. The hour markers are also fashioned in 18ct orange gold. Besides the hour markers the dial features facetted and truncated Dauphine hands, and the applied Omega symbol and name.
Featuring a solid gold bezel, black rubber Arabic numerals, with crown and pushers crafted from brushed orange gold, this timepiece is as sporty as it is elegant. Complete with an integrated black rubber strap featuring the Omega name in red rubber and a satin-brushed stainless steel fold over clasp, this timepiece beckons the true watch connoisseur.
If the many water bodies that span the surface of the earth were to be emptied one would be amazed with what they might find. These water bodies that have been one of the few constants, in this fast changing world were witness to many a historic happenings and have in their wombs proofs of the day’s gone by. But only a few have been lucky enough to discover these treasures. And sure to find its name among these lucky few underwater treasure hunters is a Russian mini-submarine named MIR- 2. Reports suggest that the mini-submarine may have found billions of dollars worth of lost Tsarist gold on the floor of the world’s oldest and deepest freshwater lake, Lake Baikal in Siberia.
Legend has it that 1,600 tons of gold, was lost when anti-Communist Commander Admiral Alexander Kolchak’s train plunged into Lake Baikal. The Mir-2 submersible has reportedly found ’shiny metal objects’ around 1,200 feet below the surface at Cape Tolsty. Explorers however failed to grab hold of the shiny objects with the mini-sub’s manipulator arm due to the loose gravel on the lake’s floor.
The submariners will however be returning to the spot once again to see whether the pieces are actually real gold and also plan to bring a sample to the surface for testing. The discovery follows last year’s unearthing of remnants of a train and ammunition boxes from the surface of the lake.

World’s Most Expensive Salad
Regular readers might expect the most expensive salad in the world to be sprinkled with edible gold leaf and topped with enormous brilliant cut diamonds. In this case, however, the dish itself is deserving of the price tag—even if it does have a bit of gold leaf.
The most expensive salad was created by celebrity chef Raymond Blanc at the Hempel Hotel in London in observance of Florette National Salad Week in 2003. The salad took six hours to create and included such fine ingredients as Florette Baby Leaf salad, beluga caviar, grated truffle, potatoes decorated with gold leaf, Cornish crab and lobster and 30-year-old balsamic vinegar. The 50 grams of Almas golden caviar, made from the eggs of albino and Oscietre sturgeons and formerly reserved for Russian tsars, is the true draw of this sumptuous salad.
The Florette Sea and Earth Salad came to £635.60 (US $1,013) to create—and the costly caviar alone accounted for £600.
