Why customers love Omega?

I bought this Speedmaster Mark 4.5 from an Alscien enthusiast for my 50th birthday. Already a great encounter. I love this watch and I realize that I wear it very often. I like everything. Its dial, its tachymeter scale, all its hands, its weight and even its Day Date function while I am generally not too fond of dates. I fell into the pot at the age of 6 when my godfather gave me my first watch. A small mechanical gold-plated Aurore that I still have. And since then I have had this passion viscerally in me. A good virus without a cure and that's good

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 In this case, it is the 861 which succeeded the 321 present in all the historical references since the launch of the Speed in 1957 with the reference CK 2915 from memory.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

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 🚀

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

I bought this speedmaster triple date a bit by chance during a sale at the municipal credit. A hesitation in the room and hop the beauty is mine. A bit capricious all the same, I had to have it serviced a year after the purchase. Very comfortable to wear, I like its dial with these 2 windows and its pointer date. A rather chic speedmaster but with questionable readability (with a black dial it's better I think). It's better to have a winder if you don't want to spend your time adjusting it. In the end it's a change from a speed pro and it remains quite original.

Where to start! A watch fan for a good twenty years now, let me tell you about my adventure with Omega. Although fascinated by what the Speedmaster Professional represents, when it came time to buy my second mechanical watch (the first, bought in 2011, was a Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Auto), my choice fell on Omega. The Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M GMT Goodplanet edition to be precise, which perfectly matched my use of a watch at that time (I was about to celebrate my 22nd birthday, soon to be 33 at present). Namely a watch to wear every day without asking questions, whatever the situation. Hiking, paragliding, canyoning or even jet-skiing and many other activities, this Planet Ocean was there for me. Its dial of a lacquered blue as deep as a bottomless ocean is captivating!

Happy owner of a more discreet Omega Constellation Marine... I really like this Omega quartz series (caliber 133X) for its finesse and its refined style very 70s type integrated bracelet. It is a constant in my collection and it finds a good place there. It is a very pleasant watch to wear because of its finesse and its discreet style even if it is made of 750/000 gold. Note that it is equipped with the caliber 1333 (Chronometer certified) an outdated label - even incomprehensible nowadays - for a quartz watch. And yes, there was a time when quartz watches were - rightly - considered both precise and noble in terms of chronometry. Quartz technology almost killed the mechanical watch industry in 10 years for better and for worse with the revival of the 90s. This watch is a vestige of an era when quartz was intended to be more precise and not cheaper. The materials and feel of this Omega Constellation are absolutely fantastic!

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.

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.
