Why customers love Omega?

Like many Omega watches, the Seamaster caliber 1310 combines an elegant design with reliable mechanics and exceptional precision. Inside we find a very first in-house caliber from Omega, and we immediately see that it's not joking. If the exterior exudes robustness, the same goes for the movement, Almost no plastic inside. For the design it's radical or you like it or you don't. Despite its rather imposing proportions it has found a place on my 17cm wrist. Due to its shape and its curvature under the case it is positioned very well and does not turn despite the weight of the beast.

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 In this case, it is the 861 which succeeded the 321 present in all the historical references since the launch of the Speed in 1957 with the reference CK 2915 from memory.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....

If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of the Omega brand! The reason is simple and illustrated by this watch, an Omega Constellation that looks nothing like the other Constellations! That's the charm of vintage Omega, fantastic looks that you don't expect! The rectangle watch is not something easy! The Dunhill Facet is the only other rectangle watch in my collection with this Constellation. For the record, I found it at auction on Jauce, the Japanese auction site, then my wife wanted it and a few weeks later it arrived 😎 Quite tired, but I had planned to send it to a watchmaker specializing in these "old" Omegas. Before that, my wife and I realized that this model - for men - could not be adjusted to the size of her wrist! If you look at it closely, it is trapezoidal in shape, unsuitable for fine adjustments... Good news in the end, I kept it for myself as planned. The drawn-line dial is magnificent and goes perfectly with the same drawn lines on the case. The two Omega logos in appliques (very 70s) give it the pep that it would have lacked with its dominant silver gray... This Omega Genève joins my Omega collection and in particular the Omega Genève integrated bracelet which sports the same type of dial. ➡️ The construction of the case is also very original because the movement is housed in a cell that unscrews (4 screws) on the back of the watch, like some Omega Genève or Omega Dynamic. I have not found - if you have any information, I am interested - a leather strap suitable for this removable cell. Regarding price, we are on a full cost price of €600 including the watch, sales costs and reconditioning.

The Speedmaster Moonwatch with white dial is a striking piece that combines the iconic heritage of the Speedmaster collection with a modern, clean aesthetic. The white dial provides a sharp contrast to the black hands and sub-dials, making the time reading clear and elegant. It retains its historical roots as a watch linked to space exploration, while adding a fresh touch. A sophisticated choice for watch enthusiasts who appreciate Omega’s timeless style and performance.

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.

This Omega Seamaster 300 is my very first mechanical watch and I acquired it in 2002 to mark a turning point in my professional career. A fan of James Bond at the time, I discovered the Seamaster on Pearce Brosnan's wrist in the film Golden Eyes. It must be said that the marketing did its job well, this watch is well highlighted and it makes me wonder about this watch that I find beautiful and that I did not know. I am a good customer, it embodies through Bond's stunts, the idea that I had of the adventurer's watch: readable, robust, waterproof, precise... and beautiful in a tuxedo of course. At the time there were very few ways to find out about the collections, we did however have the possibility of ordering online, or of picking up in store, the brands' catalogs. The Omega catalog contained little technical data on the models but good quality photos. I quickly identified a version of the Seamaster 300 that was much more attractive to me than Bond's... the black dial version named Sir Peter Blake... magnificent! Determined to find out more about this watch, I searched the internet and came across the blog of the TicTac addict who had posted a superb review of this model, the ref. 2254.50.00. I was doomed, and after several visits to ADs, testing the watch and a lot of time spent dreaming about it, I ended up buying it in a store. It would not leave my wrist for almost 20 years. I wore it every day, in all circumstances, in the water, in the sand, while I was tinkering or playing sports... but also in a suit... I never had any problems with it, a service at Omega every 7/8 years and it was good to go. What I particularly like about this watch, and which I have never tired of, is its dial. Very dark matte gray textured with discreet matte black wavelets and with beautiful oversized uncircled and very luminescent indexes. Their size and shape are reminiscent of those of some vintage Seamasters like the ref. 165.024. The enormous triangle at 12 o'clock gives it a unique look and recalls that of the ref. 565.007. The date window is very well integrated, with white numbers on a black background. The "lance" type hands are very large and very luminescent as well, a shape that was found among others on the ref. 165.024 in any case for the hour hand. In short, a watch that I would describe as well inspired by the iconic Seamaster models but with its own personality. I should point out that at the time of purchase, I had no idea of the history of the Seamaster and had never seen any vintage models. It was only recently that I found these family ties in the indexes and hands. The finishes of the case are top-notch for a watch of this price, significantly lower than that of a Sub at the time. There is brushed on the sides of the case, sandblasted and polished on the lyre lugs. The screwed back is engraved with a beautiful logo and wavelets that are supposed to make the watch less slippery on the arm once in the water... and that is indeed the effect felt. The watch is relatively thin at 12 mm and sits perfectly on the wrist. Its size is reasonable with a diameter close to 40 mm excluding the crown and a lug to lug of 48 mm. A size that I find very acceptable for a so-called diving watch. The metal bracelet is however well dated 2000s with a folding clasp of good quality but too wide for my taste which has become thinner over time. I have therefore played around with the bracelets quite a bit and for several months I have only worn it on a black leather one from ABP which, in my opinion, suits it perfectly. This configuration has rekindled my passion for this watch and I like to wear it regularly, observing the marks of time on its case which has only been polished once, during its first revision. I particularly like to admire its dial and be amazed by the precision it still demonstrates after so many years.

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 ;-)

—> This watch has been a thoughtful purchase for a few years. —> It is a safe bet as to the choice because it is timeless in its design (the golden ratio is hidden in it?;-)) —> It is a safe bet because it is a high quality product with the guarantee that it is followed and whose parts are still very easy to find. It can therefore be worn daily without fear of breaking and no longer finding parts. —> It is also a legendary watch, known by enthusiasts. It is very discreet, can be worn easily in all situations and with its 42mm diameter it remains very pleasant to wear. —> I am very happy and I never tire of my Legendary Moonwatch Professional 1861 which are the latest 1861 references, having a new but somewhat outdated watch: —> 5 atm water resistance, manual winding, hesalite crystal and old design movement… It gives an extraordinary old-fashioned charm! When you wind the crown and you hear a clicking sound, it's great :-) —>As someone who loves old watches, I'm delighted with this new purchase!

First of all, i have lucky been to discover this platform with my friend Lou from Lombard, Illinois 🙏 Beside being an Omega fan, i own several Speedys but wanted to share my thoughts about this one. Different, slightly smaller than a Moonwatch but bigger feelings on my wrist. Many people can recognize a "regular" Speedy but very few can outlook this reference 176.002. Every single person slightly interested in watches will ask for more informations about it. During the late 90s, i used to travel back and force from Illinois to Florida and went once to Kennedy Space Center to visit the Complex... and i believe my passion for Speedys are related to this trip. So why this Mark III? Star Wars look, underrated, lucky looser... It doesn't mean I don't like my 145.022 anymore but this one is less conventional and propelled by an automatic caliber (not sure but i believe 1041). The journey to acquire such a piece is also different as you don't find that often a dial with great tritium patina. This one is absolutely stunning. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Ignition 🚀
