All about the Le Forban Sécurité Mer Omaha Green Chronograph Limited 44
On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Allied D-Day landings, we are proud to present our new model from Le Forban Sécurité Mer: the "Omaha" chronograph. This watch is a tribute to the bravery of the American soldiers who landed on the beaches of Normandy in 1944, especially Omaha Beach. In our imagination, we tried to envision what a waterproof watch might have looked like during that era. We were inspired by chronographs of the 1940s, characterized by gilded sub-dials, large numerals, and distinctive "onion" crowns.
Limited to 44 pieces worldwide.
The "Omaha" chronograph has a case diameter of 39 mm (40 mm measured over the bezel) and an overall length of 46 mm from lug to lug. The case thickness is 13.9 mm, measuring 11.82 mm without the crystal. The watch is powered by the automatic Seiko NE86 chronograph movement. The case is made of polished and brushed 316L stainless steel, while the dial is available in military sunray green or sunray black, with gilded sub-dials and indices featuring old-radium style SuperLuminova.
The watch features a unidirectional rotating, serrated bezel made of steel with an aluminum insert, as well as a domed sapphire crystal. The vintage "onion" crown is equipped with a double O-ring and guarantees water resistance up to 50 meters. The design is completed by a vintage-look leather strap, fitted with a custom-designed Le Forban clasp. The lugs have a width of 20 mm, making the "Omaha" chronograph a stylish and robust tribute to the watches of the past.

Le Forban Sécurité Mer Omaha Green & Black Chronograph Limited 44 Test
Le Forban Sécurité Mer, die durch und durch französische Uhrenmarke mit einem Händchen für Retro-Geschmack, hat kürzlich ein neues Modell auf den Markt gebracht. Dabei handelt es sich diesmal um einen Chronographen, genannt Omaha. Er markiert den 80. Jahrestags des D-Days.
My personal view on the Le Forban Sécurité Mer Omaha Green Chronograph Limited 44
"Chronographen haben im Hause Le Forban Sécurité Mer eine lange Tradition. In die Reihe geschichtsträchtiger Chronos seit 1969 reiht sich nun auch die Omaha ein, die der ganze Stolz der wiederbelebten Marke aus Frankreich ist. Erhältlich in zwei verschiedenen Farben erinnert die Omaha an den D-Day, als Alliierte vor 80 Jahren an den Strand der Normandie gelangten. Die Uhr wird dem geschichtsträchtigen Ereignis optisch definitiv gerecht. Gerade das Modell mit olivfarbenem Zifferblatt sieht hervorragend aus. Von Le Forban gewohnt sind wir zudem die hervorragende Qualität, die sich am Edelstahlgehäuse und am schicken Lederband im Retro-Look bewundern lässt. Das Seiko ist in seiner BESTEN Ausführung verbaut, auch beim Lume hat man nicht gespart; Swiss Super Luminova... ein echter Leuchtkeks, schaut euch das Video an. Die Limitierung der Grünen Omaha ist halt der Knaller. Mit dieser riesigen Toolbox und "Erkennungsmarke" ein echt tolles Set. Aber auch die Schwarze Omaha ist jeden Cent wert. Einfach tolle Uhren! "

FAQs
About David from WATCHDAVID
My name is David, and I've been deeply involved with watches for many years – not just as a dealer, but primarily as a tester, photographer, and classifier.
Since 2018, I’ve been running WATCHDAVID as an independent watch project featuring reviews, videos, and real-world wearing experiences. Many of the watches you'll find here have been on my own wrist – often for extended periods.
WATCHDAVID.SHOP is intentionally personal. I only sell watches that I genuinely stand behind – no anonymous mass-produced goods, no dropshipping, no "quick trends." Experience, transparency, and honest assessment are paramount to me.
And yes: I am not an anonymous seller. I enjoy good food, sneakers, and photography – and I have a proven weakness for Kinder Chocolate.
If you have any questions or are unsure, feel free to contact me directly. I will respond personally.
Shipping & Insurance
Within Germany and the EU, shipping is free of charge. Shipping is handled by DHL and insured up to €500, €2,500 or €25,000, depending on the watch's value. The watches are therefore always sufficiently insured.
You can find the delivery time in the description and/or below the shopping cart button. Some watches are only produced after an order is placed, while others are brand new and, for example, will only be available in a few weeks (so-called PRE-SALE), etc...
Revocation & Return Shipping
You can revoke your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods.
I will cover the return shipping costs for you.
IMPORTANT: Do not send the watch back yourself; I will send you the free return label.
To do this, please simply contact me. david@watchdavid.com
It is also important that the watch is unworn and free of any signs of wear. After a successful inspection, I will refund the purchase price to you. The refund will be made using the same payment method you used for the purchase.
Authenticity & Condition of the Watches
I guarantee that all watches I offer are exclusively new, original goods. The watches come directly from the manufacturer and have had no previous owners, unless I explicitly state otherwise (e.g., so-called PHOTO WATCHES).
As an official dealer, I exclusively offer authentic products. These are offered in their original packaging, with a warranty card, etc., just as they are delivered by the dealer. Everything in a so-called Full Set. Some deliver more, some less...
Warranty & Service
All watches purchased from me come with the international manufacturer's warranty, which is usually two years. Some brands even offer a warranty of up to 5 years.
Should a warranty claim arise, I will take care of shipping the watch to the manufacturer or the responsible service center for you and will also organize its return to you. In addition, I will handle all communication with the manufacturer, so you don't have to worry about anything.
Even after the warranty period has expired, I will remain your contact person and support you with service questions or repairs.

I usually answer every inquiry within 24 hours at the latest. On weekends, it may take a little longer. As a rule, I reply within a few minutes or hours.
Something can also slip through for me. Or the technology isn't working as it should. Feel free to contact me again. david@watchdavid.com
