Why customers love Omega?

More and more seduced by vintage even if I measure all the difficulty that it is to find an old watch corresponding to both preservation and precision requirements, the Omega Speedmaster Ref 3592.50 from 1994 commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Apollo XI mission appeared as one of the ideal models to integrate into a collection because of the myth that it objectively represents and the very subjective luck of having found a copy in excellent condition, with its original papers and an Omega service box. Any lover of watchmaking history knows the mythical, magnificent history of Omega, I will not dwell on it. Any vintage enthusiast knows that a hesalite crystal is better than a sapphire crystal that can be seen on the new models Any mechanical enthusiast knows the legendary caliber 863 and its sumptuous Côtes de Gèneve finishes that power this watch (and whose transparent back allows you to admire all its beauty) and will naturally prefer it to the co-axial of the new models, too far removed from what the first Speedmasters were... The patina of my watch has evolved towards straw yellow under the effect of the tritium which 30 years later, is still present. The same one that slightly attacked the minute hand giving this Speedmaster a unique side, a true witness to the passing of time and which outrages even the most beautiful things in this world, proof that immutability in watchmaking may not really exist... The original bracelet has also patinated over time. Its original shine has evolved towards a warm and matte gray of great beauty. The same goes for the Speedmaster logoed folding clasp. Recently tested, the watch displays a daily drift of -1, -2 seconds max in normal conditions of use. The chronograph also holds the distance with a stunning comparison with the atomic clockwork of the iPhone 15. What more can I say...? Nothing. A watch with a look, a presence and a crazy charm, just as legendary for the informed as discreet for the general public and it's not so bad... If like me a watch is placed beyond a single functional objective, is more than a marker of success and is beyond the sole investment, then go for vintage without hesitation but with some knowledge about what you are buying... if necessary get advice! You will never be disappointed

A watch worn by 3 generations and I hope a fourth. This transitional Omega Speedmaster 145022 is a watchmaking icon, renowned for its elegant design and exceptional precision. I noticed very quickly that this Omega Speedmaster is a must-have piece for any collector.

The Omega Speedmaster Silver Snoopy Award is much more than a watch: it is a true work of horological art, full of history and emotion. Since its announcement, this piece has been a dream for me, and today, this dream has come true. Some might call its design a “gimmick” linked to the presence of Snoopy, but that is precisely what gives the watch its charm and makes it so unique. Snoopy brings that nostalgic touch that systematically brings a smile to everyone who discovers it. The caseback, meanwhile, is simply spectacular. The decoration is of impressive precision and quality, from the silver stars to the lunar craters engraved directly on the glass. And what about the animated mechanism! When the chronograph is started, Snoopy appears on his rocket thanks to the “magic hand” and makes a complete tour of this lunar decoration, masterful. On a technical level, this watch keeps all its promises. Equipped with Omega’s Co-Axial movement, it combines performance and precision. Historical inscriptions, such as the date of the Silver Snoopy Award and the Apollo 13 mission, reinforce its symbolic character. The ceramic bezel, silver dial and sapphire crystal demonstrate a level of finishing that borders on excellence. After several months of wearing it regularly, I can say that it is an exceptional watch. It manages to combine legendary aesthetics with technical features worthy of the greatest Maisons. If you are a fan of watchmaking, space history or simply looking for an original piece, this watch is a perfect choice. For me, it is the symbol of a dream come true.

Being a diver and wanting to acquire a diver's watch, I naturally turned to the emblematic models of several brands. Omega being a watch manufacturer that interested me a lot, I decided to go for a Seamaster, without any particular link with James Bond. Having bought it without trying it, I was at first surprised and in doubt about its diameter (36), it is ultimately the watch that I wear most often.

I fell in love with it the first time I saw it. Of all the Speedmaster variations, this is by far the most successful. The white lacquered dial is magnificent and the red Speedmaster inscription makes the difference, this red that we find on the tip of the seconds hand. The marketing approach to present this watch is also a success, putting it on Daniel Craig's wrist without communication to arouse curiosity

After rocking my Heuer Daytona, which was kind of my way of going against the grain and poking fun at my Rolex-loving buddies, I stumbled on this Speedmaster that’s totally different from the Moonwatch. It’s an automatic model, bursting with colors that scream late '70s to early '80s vibes. You’ve still got those iconic lyre lugs from Huguenin Frères cases and the tachymeter bezel, so it’s got that Speed DNA. But beyond that, this watch is totally its own thing—way off the beaten path. Super comfy and problem-free for the first six years on my wrist. I gotta admit, it really catches the eye of my watch-loving friends. After doing some digging, I found out the movement is apparently a variation of the Valjoux 7750 (Omega 1151), so yeah, you can sleep easy wearing this one. This watch is part of the Speedmaster story, just not the Moonwatch chapter. To me, it’s a perfect example of Omega’s wild range—something for everyone, depending on your vibe. Is it too many variations, to the point of losing focus? Or is it Omega’s creative genius, constantly pushing a classic forward? Next up for me: tracking down the original bracelet. It’s like missing the nose on a face—gotta fix that! Guess I’ve got my hunt lined up for the next few months.

Hello, I present to you my Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch reference 145.022 transition dating from 1968. It took me quite a while to understand this transition story that I will try to explain in this post This watch has a characteristic of the previous reference (145.012) namely the applied Omega logo which will disappear in favor of a logo painted in white. However the base of the chronograph hand is flat while on the 145.012, it has the shape of a drop of water! How do you know if it is a 145.012 or a 145.022 transition? Quite simply - with the help of a watchmaker - to open the case to identify the caliber... In this case, it is the 861 which succeeded the 321 present in all the historical references since the launch of the Speed in 1957 with the reference CK 2915 from memory. But then, why a transitional model? This is where we have to go back to a time without computers with paper records where stocks were not managed and automated as they are today. Omega had decided to develop its model with a more advanced caliber (321 to 861)... The story goes that they had dials left with the applied logo and that these were integrated into the first reference 145.022. The following ones had the dial with the applied logo! This makes this watch a rarer, more original model that allows you to dive into the magical world of vintage... Each vintage watch has its little secrets that enthusiasts unearth through hard work. I must pay tribute to the authors of the book Moonwatch Only who opened my eyes to all the subtleties of the Speed adding to the myth of the conquest of the Moon, an industrial dimension that is at least interesting... This watch symbolizes above all what interests me in vintage... Surprise, uncertainty, doubt and the quest for a grail that continues to evolve as we have the feeling of getting closer to it.... Thank you Dialicious for this site centralizing opinions on all watches and allowing watch lovers to freely share their opinions on their watches without having to put up with the grumpy people who know but don't like much...

I like the simplicity of this Omega Seamaster 300. Inspired by the very first Seamaster 300 launched in 1957 - reference CK2913 if my humble research is correct - this Omega combines many qualities, at least those that interest me. A very unique look, associated with the history of the brand and indirectly with that of the most famous secret agent. I bought it second-hand on Chrono24 looking for the Spectre version, but it was too expensive. After thinking about it, the simplicity of the dial showing only Seamaster and while having a bubble-shaped second hand convinced me. I received it with its steel bracelet that I immediately changed for a dark, black bracelet that enhances the dial. The steel bracelet is very well finished but too flashy with the mirror-polished outer part. Nothing to say about the precision and decoration of the movement with a very open case back allowing you to admire the caliber in all its animation. Thanks Omega 🙏

This is the latest arrival in my collection. 70s style as often with still very prominent angles on the case. It is equipped with the Omega 1481 caliber widely used by the brand during the 70s. I had been eyeing it for a while for its discreet proportions all in finesse, and its confidential notoriety compared to the Speedmaster and other Seamaster or Constellation. Although it is not extra-thin strictly speaking, it gives the visual feeling of being so. Its 34mm diameter seems larger given the configuration of the bracelet integrated into the case. It is a simple watch with a very characteristic sharp line, which fits perfectly into my collection. Purchase price at auction (including fees) €450 Nice catch ;-)
