A chic sports watch that can be worn in all circumstances. A 39.7 mm case that I preferred to the iconic Speed whose case was too bulky for my taste. This Omega is for me the model to have in your collection. I preferred its sword hands as well as the shape and size of its case and its horns. Pleasant proportions, it sits perfectly on the wrist. The caramel leather strap on a pin buckle is very comfortable to wear. You will have understood me, huge crush on this First.

FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE

A diameter of 36 mm associated with a bronze case and an original almond green dial, it didn't take more for me to fall for this Big Crown. I particularly appreciate the patina that the case takes over time; it gives it an even more retro tone. And its light green dial differentiates it from the other models in the range and goes really well with the bronze. The only downside: the leather strap is not suitable for small wrists.

ORIS BIG CROWN BRONZE

Passionate about the brand for a long time, I fell in love with this Chronoris. The shape of its case, its extremely well-finished and comfortable bracelet, its vintage and sporty style. The assets that I like combined in one model; I could only buy it. Its caliber is a robust and precise Sellita. It is a shame that this Chronoris is out of collection; perhaps it will reappear with the new caliber!

CHRONOR'S MOUTH 

I have always been a big fan of Grand Seiko, both for their polishing and their incredible finishes. Poetry is anchored in most of their models with sumptuous dials. The opening and excellent welcome of the Grand Seiko Vendôme boutique convinced me to take the plunge and buy it. And I don't regret it! I chose a Spring Drive to marry the best of both worlds (between automatic and quartz). The only negative point is that I find that the bracelet is not in line with the rest of the model. The buckle is not high enough quality and it remains a little too simple for my taste.

I first discovered the Black Bay in its 41 version (ETA movement) but I found it too imposing and too thick for my wrist. When the release of this 58 was announced with its reduced diameter, its "so-called" manufacture movement and its reduced thickness, I immediately rushed to the store! I also appreciated the aesthetics of the model; in particular its black dial matching its bezel with golden touches and its small red triangle. Its steel bracelet is very well finished but, the only downside is that it lacks a micro adjustment for the watch to be perfect.

Tudor Black Bay 58

A watch that I particularly like. A vintage spirit combined with a touch of modernity. Its bronze fluted bezel combined with its blue dial gives this Big Crown all its personality. Its 36 mm size is ideal. I liked the originality of the pointer date (date indication). An emblematic watch for the house of Oris. A piece of history on the wrist.

Big Crown Pointer Date

<p dir="ltr">Founded in <strong>1848</strong>, <strong>Omega</strong> is one of the oldest and most respected brand in the industry. The story of Omega is punctuated by innovations, technological achievements and a constant quest for precision. Steeped in exploration and adventure and closely associated with the conquest of the Moon, the brand has left an indelible mark on global watchmaking.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Omega brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, a young man named Louis Brandt opened a watch assembly workshop. Using parts from various local artisans, he builds and sells his watches throughout Europe. These first watches simply bore his name, but it was the beginning of what would become a global brand. After his death in 1879, his sons took over the business and introduced revolutionary manufacturing techniques. In 1894, <strong>a new caliber for pocket watches was introduced, named "Omega"</strong>, symbolizing the ultimate achievement in watchmaking. It was so successful that the company would later adopt the name as a brand.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The conquest of precision (1900-1940)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The 20th century saw Omega rise as a dominant force in the field of watchmaking precision. In 1931, Omega watches won all the prizes during chronometry tests at the Geneva Observatory. This quest for precision led the brand to be chosen as <strong>official timekeeper of the Olympic Games from 1932</strong>, a title it still holds today.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Innovations et exploits (1940-1970)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">During and after World War II, Omega supplied watches to the British armed forces, cementing its reputation for reliability and durability. It was also at this time that the Seamaster was launched, a waterproof watch designed to withstand the most difficult conditions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These thirty glorious years saw the launch of the Omega Seamaster in 1948 and the Omega Constellation in 1952. But it was the Speedmaster, introduced in 1957, which stood out the most. In 1965, <strong>it was officially chosen by NASA to accompany astronauts on space missions</strong>, and in 1969, it became the first watch worn on the moon, earning the nickname "Moonwatch".</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The dark years (1970-2000)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Faced with the rise of Japanese quartz watches, Omega is fighting to maintain its position. The brand launches <strong>its own quartz watch, the "Marine Chronometer"</strong>, which is recognized as one of the most precise quartz watches ever produced. Omega, like the entire Swiss watch industry, is very impacted by this new competition from Japan and must significantly reduce its workforce.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 90s saw a resurgence of interest in luxury mechanical watches, and Omega, with its classic models and innovations, such as the co-axial movement, remained at the forefront.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">The new millennium (2000 to the present)</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The 21st century sees Omega go from strength to strength with famous collaborations and ambassadors, such as James Bond and actor Daniel Craig. Innovative technologies, such as movements resistant to magnetic fields and the use of materials such as ceramic, demonstrate the brand's desire to combine tradition and modernity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the main models of the Omega brand?</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/speedmaster">Omega Speedmaster</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Speedmaster collection is one of the most iconic and recognized watch ranges in the world. Launched in 1957, the Speedmaster was initially designed to meet the needs of motorsport professionals, with its distinctive tachometer for measuring speed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">However, it is best known for its role in space exploration. In 1965, after rigorous testing, NASA selected the Speedmaster as its official watch for all manned missions. It was worn during the first lunar landing in 1969 by astronaut Buzz Aldrin and has since been nicknamed "<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/speedmaster_moonwatch">Moonwatch</a>".</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aside from its space pedigree, the Speedmaster is also appreciated for its timeless design and robust mechanics. Over the years, Omega has introduced many variations of the Speedmaster such as the Omega Speedmaster Mark II, Mark III or Omega Speedmaster 38. It is often considered a must-have watch for collectors and watch enthusiasts.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster">Omega Seamaster</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Seamaster collection, introduced in 1948, is one of the oldest and most popular luxury watches. Originally designed as a dive watch, it combines robust functionality with elegant design. <strong>Water resistance and durability have been key features</strong> of the Seamaster from its inception. Over time, this collection has evolved, encompassing a diverse range of models from professional diving watches to sophisticated pieces suitable for formal occasions.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A notable turning point for the Seamaster was its association with James Bond. Since 1995, with the film "GoldenEye", James Bond has worn a Seamaster in almost all of his films, cementing his status as a cultural icon.&nbsp;</p>
<p dir="ltr">The different variants, such as<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_300m"> Seamaster Diver 300M</a>, the Aqua Terra or the Planet Ocean or the PLOPROF show the adaptability of the collection to various needs and aesthetic preferences. Each watch is a reflection of Omega's watchmaking expertise and commitment to quality and innovation.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_planet_ocean_600m_co-axial_master_chronometer">Omega Planet Ocean</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Seamaster Planet Ocean collection, first introduced in 2005, is a modern homage to Omega's rich maritime heritage. These watches are true diving instruments, offering water resistance of up to 60 ATM. They often feature ceramic bezels, dials with luminescent indexes, and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.&nbsp;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/seamaster_aqua_terra">Omega Aqua Terra</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Seamaster Aqua Terra is another illustrious member of the Seamaster family, launched in the early 2000s. With its aesthetic inspired by the wooden decks of luxury yachts, the Aqua Terra is a perfect mix between a dive watch and a dress watch. It is water resistant to 150 meters and is equally suited to a day at the office or a trip to the sea. The Aqua Terra has also been a showcase for some of Omega's most recent innovations, including co-axial movement and improved resistance to magnetic fields, making these watches some of the most reliable and precise timepieces available.</p>
<p dir="ltr">These two models, like the previous ones, reflect Omega's ongoing commitment to combining technical innovation with timeless design. They embody all the diversity of the Seamaster collection.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/constellation">Omega Constellation</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The Omega Constellation collection, introduced in 1952, is the <strong>symbol of excellence in watchmaking and design</strong>. Known for its timeless elegance, the Constellation is a demonstration of Omega's expertise in precision and craftsmanship. Distinctive for its unique claws on the case, which were originally intended to ensure the water resistance of the watch, it has become one of the characteristic features of the Constellation design.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Over time, Omega has continued to innovate within this collection, introducing new movements, designs and materials, while maintaining the distinctive character and elegance of the Constellation. The range has branched out to include models for men and women, offering a variety of sizes, dials and straps.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/de_ville">Omega De Ville</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Omega De Ville collection is a reflection of refinement and urban elegance</strong> within Omega's extensive portfolio. Introduced in the 1960s, the De Ville was created as a more dressy and contemporary line, distinguishing itself from the brand's sports and diving watches.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since its beginnings, the De Ville has been synonymous with sophistication and technical innovation. While preserving a classic design, it has often been the testing ground for Omega's new watchmaking technologies, such as reducing the complexity of movement components or the introduction of Co-Axial movements.&nbsp;With its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic, the De Ville collection is perfect for a professional setting or formal occasions. It includes several sub-collections, including the famous Hour Vision, Ladymatic and Tresor, each bringing its own touch of distinction.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sophistication and simplicity. Designed for those who appreciate understated luxury, the De Ville is elegant while being technically impressive. Co-Axial movements and varied designs, ranging from simple models to complications like the tourbillon.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/geneve">Omega Geneva</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">In the 1950s and into the 1970s, the name &ldquo;Geneva&rdquo; was associated with the Omega watch line intended <strong>to honor the birthplace of Swiss watchmaking, Geneva</strong>. This range was meant to reflect the high quality standards for which the city was known. The Geneva model was finally integrated into the DeVille collection. Featuring a sober and elegant design, the Omega Gen&egrave;ve was appreciated for its versatility, being both a dress watch and suitable for everyday use and positioned at that time as an entry-level Omega.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/omega/dynamic">Omega Dynamic</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">First launched in 1967, the Omega Dynamic is a distinctive model with a very '70s design. Initially designed as a watch for the younger generation, it had an elliptical case shape and colorful dials, reflecting the bold aesthetic of the era. Later, in the 1990s, the Dynamic was relaunched with a very different design inspired by pilot watches, under the name Omega Dynamic III.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Omega Seamaster Omegamatic</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Combining the precision of quartz with the autonomy of an automatic watch, the Omegamatic, launched in the 1990s, is a hybrid auto-quartz watch. It uses a rotor, similar to that of automatic watches, to charge a battery which powers a quartz movement, thus providing exceptional precision while retaining certain mechanical elements.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Omega Polaris</h3>
<p dir="ltr">Introduced in the 1980s, the Omega Polaris collection is remarkable for its unique design combining stainless steel and gold, often in a surprising so-called "two-tone" construction. These watches were equipped with quartz movements and equipped with complications, such as alarms or chronographs Their geometric aesthetic and multi-layered design made them immediately recognizable and accessible at low prices on the vintage market.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Each of these models brings a unique touch to the rich history of the Omega house, demonstrating its ability to innovate and adapt to changing watchmaking trends while remaining true to its roots of quality and precision.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does an Omega watch cost?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Prices for Omega watches change every year, but <strong>most Omega models cost between $3,500 and $40,000</strong>. An Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial Chronometer costs $3,500 while an Omega Speedmaster in yellow gold Sedna costs $45,800. The second-hand market is also an opportunity to look at buying an Omega potentially cheaper than new.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Omega: Eclectic models for all tastes&nbsp;</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The story of Omega is one of a relentless quest for precision, innovation and excellence. From its humble beginnings in a small Swiss workshop to its presence on the moon, in the depths of the ocean and on the Olympic slopes, <strong>Omega has demonstrated its watchmaking mastery time</strong> and again. As a pioneer, innovator and explorer, Omega continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of luxury watchmaking. Omega stands out for its fusion of styles, performance and history. Whether exploring the depths of the ocean, timing Olympic athletes, or accompanying astronauts into space, Omega has proven its excellence time and time again.</p>

Do I really need to introduce it to you?
This watch is responsible for my taste for watches... The first time I saw it in a photo, I went completely crazy.

A masterclass from a design point of view.. Which accompanies it with an equally incredible story. In my opinion, whatever the speedmaster in question, every collector should own one. A must to have :!

An iconic watch

First watch in my collection and a gift for my 30th birthday, I wanted a legendary and timeless model with a leather strap. I fell in love with this model when I discovered it in a boutique at Geneva airport. The black dial coupled with the brown leather strap was atypical and its smaller diameter than the professional model convinced me. Today I wear the model with an Uncle Straps Flat Link steel bracelet which adds more sportiness and shine to the watch.

Omega Speedmaster First Omega In Space

I fell for this Speed for its chocolate panda dial with Paul Newman-style railroad that matches well with the Sedna gold case.
It is a numbered Special version with a contained diameter of 39.7mm.
I find it really classy and more dressy than my steel Speed.
I wanted a GOLD watch because my current collection lacks this precious metal



A Speed like no other

The Omega is the reissue of a 1963 model, the CK2998, renamed the FOIS (first Omega in space), because it was the first watch to accompany Wally Schirra in the 1960s in the sidereal void for the Sigma 7 mission. Hand-wound, it is distinguished from the classic Professional by a symmetrical case, without the pusher guards, by the Alpha hands (YC small seconds) and sapphire crystal. Since its release in 2012, it has long been considered a "small" Speedmaster/Reduced - even though its bezel is identical to a Speed Pro, and its diameter is 0.3mm closer to that of a current Daytona. The end of production 2 years ago and the release of the Ed White 321, its rich relative with a fairly similar design, have increased its rating for 2 years. It is chic, simple and refined, with impeccable and elegant finishes. A manual chronograph exemplary of comfort, without any other complication, with a clear "click" of the crown when winding, very pleasant and well notched. The pushers are soft and precise, the flexibility of the Lemania 1861. Versatile, it will go on many bracelets, my preference being for vintage and patinated brown, dark, seamless leathers with a vintage Omega pin buckle. Jaguar type E atmosphere, soft and refined, warm and hushed curves...

The refined adventurer

A Speedmaster with the caliber 3861 in 39 mm? Excellent! It's a bit like wanting a DeLorean, but without the time travel option (although, with a Speedmaster, you're still in history), it's the "First Omega in Space", a reissue of the Speedmaster CK 2998 that traveled into space in 1962 on the wrist of Walter Schirra. So if you're tired of watches that have never seen anything other than offices and trendy cafes, this one has a stellar CV. An ultra-classy blue-gray dial, "Alpha" hands with Super-LumiNova (because reading the time in the dark is an underestimated superpower). And of course, it's powered by the caliber 3861, a hyper-precise Master Chronometer co-axial movement, antimagnetic up to 15,000 gauss. Let me tell you that even if you're caught in an electromagnetic storm in orbit (or right next to a big magnet), it will continue to turn.
On the back, you have a seahorse medallion (because we like cool details), and the words "THE FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE", just to remind you that this watch has an intergalactic pedigree.
In short, it's a Speedmaster that has everything a big one has, except the 42 mm diameter. If you want the elegance of a Moonwatch with a historical twist and a slightly more compact format, this is clearly an excellent choice.
Want one? Better hurry up before it becomes as rare as a first class seat on a flight to Mars.
