Omega Only Collection - What Are Your Picks?
If you had only Omega to choose from, what pieces would you include in a 4 piece collection? Wondering specifically on solid GADAs, Divers and Dress options.
Feel free to go sky's the limit on pricing, but bonus challenge - keeping the whole collection within $15-20k

The 1957 Trilogy models and the deVille of your choice for dress occasions.
I have been enamored with Omega’s lately so weirdly feeling satisfied with my SMP 300…I was going to get the Speedy but the smp juts fits me… weird… oh well call it honeymoon phase I guess… but def. For omegas def. Seamaster SMP and AQT/Speedmaster/deville/
If you had to have a separate dress watch, then the Tresor DeVille automatic, which is $6,700, but I would argue that you get an Aquaterra on the bracelet for your GADA watch and get an additional leather strap for dress occasions for the Aquaterra and kill two birds with one stone. That would leave you enough in your 15k budget to get a Seamaster 300, or even a Planet Ocean, or a modern looking 300, and one of the heritage Planet Oceans.

I think the SMP is fantastic. In terms of a diver from Omega it'd be tough to choose between that or the heritage-style 300 in blue. Also, AQT...such a solid, solid GADA.

Fantastic answer. Think I'd go that route with the Aquaterra and follow it up with the Seamaster 300. Honestly need to do more reading up on the Planet Oceans.
Only these two, but the first is one of my greatest design favorites...

The heritage Planet Ocean is beautiful if you want a diver straight out of the late 50's with modern specs. The modern Planet Ocean also is a beautiful watch and if you don't like the skeleton hands of the 300, the Planet Ocean is another dive option. They also have a deeper 600m depth, but since I don't dive that's not an issue for me.
Globemaster, blue dial.
Canopus Gold Speedmaster 321.
Black and Sedna Gold Seamaster, rubber strap.
X-33 Marstimer.
If I had the money to own a Canopus gold Speedmaster, I'd GADA it. Nobody would know what it was unless they were also into watches.
AT, SMP300, Moonwatch, Globemaster
Planet Ocean 39.5mm
Aquaterra
Speedmaster
Railmaster
just the 3 classics:
blue smp300
speedy moon
aquaterra 38 silver dial
I'll go with a mix of modern and clasic.
An Aquaterra 38mm with bracelet, a Seamaster 300 and the Globemaster. GADA, diver and dress watch.
From the current collection only?
If not, I'll add:
White dial Seamaster
Aqua Terra Worldtimer
Hesalite Speedy
Black dial Planet Ocean
This would double the OP’s budget thou but would be the dream combo for many of us 👍
From L to R, 1956 Omega my Grandparents gave my Dad for his 21st, 1984 Seamaster Calipso my Parents gave me, 1948 Seamaster re-edition my Wife gave me for my 50th, Seamaster SMP300 I gave me because I climbed out of a big, fat hole. Pricing? Priceless
👍
My Omega collection would be as follows:
Speedmaster Professional (Hesalite/ grail)
Omega 1948 Seamaster Reissue (could function as dress watch and looks a lot like the tool watch my Dad wore to work in the early 70s)
Omega Seamaster 300 (1960s/ love the design and hope for a 60 year anniversary reissue this year)
Globemaster Annual Calendar Pie Pan
Have never seen that '48 reissue. Beautiful!
Got an Aqua Terra and a Seamaster 300, next will be a 2254, then a Speedmaster.
How are you liking the 300? Such a gorgeous piece in my eyes.
I only really want 3. As follows:
Diver, Dress and GADA. Speedy is more for fun and to say I have it. The dress and GADA are both strap monsters and can pair with any suit.
I feel like you picked the exact ones I would go for. That 300 and AT.....I need them.
Okay, let's get to it.
Omega AT 38mm with this orange dial
2. Omega Speedmaster Reduced with this Uncle Seiko bracelet
3. Vintage Omega Seamaster DeVille
4. Omega Seamaster No time to die
Use your AT when you feel casual, but not sunday groceries shopping casual , use your No time to die when you feel casual, but ready to action, use your DeVille when you need to feel classy AF and use your Speedmaster Reduced to do your daily stuff, shopping, working, and everything else which isn't related to water, since WR on a reduced is a shame.
That speedmaster with that bracelet....so so nice.
Speedmaster (choose your budget) for chronograph
Aqua terra world timer for GMT function
Ck859 dress
NTTD diver
Globe master annual calendar bonus puck
ok I'm gonna answer this without looking at any other answers, so as to be unbiased. I have 5 Omega's presently (and looking to sell one of them).. I'd say: 1. SeaMaster Diver 300 because it's just a classic and a great watch. 2. Speedmaster for same reasons, and they're just awesome. 3. You could have an AquaTerra for a GADA watch. And 4, maybe a Constellation for the dress watch. Very understated and elegant. I happen to have: 2 Seamaster Divers, a Speedmaster Racing Auto 44.2mm, a steel blue dial AquaTerra, and a Planet Ocean. I love them all.
Question, do you want new, preowned, or open to mixes for the suggestions?

Good question. Totally open to new OR preowned.
How are you liking the 300? Such a gorgeous piece in my eyes.
Love it. Timeless classic that won't go out of date, not as flash as the SMP, & dead accurate.
Only thing I'd sell them both for is if Omega released an updated 2254....
This one.
Ssimple…
Only these two, but the first is one of my greatest design favorites...
I love the black and gold. I actually want to eventually try for that one but I’m afraid it’s a little to big for me. Quite beautiful though.
