Reliability
I have to confess that I'm no fan of Omega, their watches just don't really suit my taste, which is of course very subjective.
However, I'll have to say an Omega Seamaster I own is THE most reliable watch in my collection. Excellent power reserve, excellent robustness, if I have to really "rely" on a watch to survive, I'll take the Omega.

I love OMEGA by several reasons: 1.- Childhood.- My mom and dad wear an OMEGA, I always admire the Omega of may dad and I love the Omega of my mom that certainly was an heritage from my grandmother to my mom...in those times, the general perception, in my...

Variety - unmatched by any brand bar none. I can't stress this enough - you can choose to collect from only one line - say seamaster and still have a very broad collection of watches. Availability - possible to find very nice examples of some beautiful mo...
History

Hi Bill, Many good points have been made, but for me it is the history of the brand and the timelessness of several of the designs from the 1950’s-60’s that attract me. I guess that is reflected in the few vintage Omega pieces I have collected...

Hi Bill & gang, I'm not really an Omega freak so please correct me if I'm wrong. Like some other fans, I agreed that Omega appeals to the mass. They seem to cover all areas in the market share with different designs, the Seamasters being their bread and b...
Hmmm... ... interesting.

You mention that the co-axial escapement is nothing but a marketing ploy. You could elaborate further? I have a SM300 with co-axial movement. I am really tempted to do some 'test' to see whether the co-axial is really an added value to the watch. Tyler

Hi Tyler, I'm not a technical person so I'm juz expressing my view. Of course, I may be wrong. Somewhere in this forum, there are some threads that share on the accuracy of the co-axial movement ( think it's related to Aqua Terra ). From my knowing, the c...

Although Omega is not alone in this (I like the year and quarters engraved on Rolex as well), I like the fact the fact that movement serial numbers allow one to fairly accurately date a particular vintage watch. Adds to the fun of collecting. Andrew

As said many times already, Omega offers great looking watches that are affordable. One of my first nice watches is an entry level Omega that my wife bought me for my birthday. Being young at the time without the financial means I have today, having that ...

Great brand that I like from the logo to the moon :0) Best buy Swiss made "serious" watch by far charged with history and dedication to what we all love and live here ... horology For me it also has sentimental value because my wife’s belated aunt t...

A Journey Through Time
By: patindubai : March 17th, 2011-21:22
There are occasions when I look at watches by other makers and I see a couple I like and many I do not. With the older Omegas I see a a great many that I like and very few that I do not (OK, the Proplofs, most with a metal bracelet - but not the snake bra...
