What one watch would you have from Omega?

This beauty, that I would buy IF it wasn'r crazy expensive and mechanic...

How can you limit it to just one Omega? Speedmaster, Seamaster 300, and Aqua Terra.

Planet ocean b/c divers are my favorite kind, but if I could only have one ever, speedy.

I like vintage Genèves and De Villes. Omega quality at bargain prices (sub $500 all day long) and in classical sizes, which is what floats my boat.

If we can go back catalog, one of those C-shape Constellations, so lovely.

For current stuff, I'll have to dig a bit. I don't really care for modern Omega at all.

Well, that was rough but it reaffirmed my stance on not caring for modern Omega at all. I was going to settle for that Seamaster 1948 thing but luckily I found this. A little tacky, but it's the best I can find. Constellation Quartz 36mm.

Speedmaster. Period. It’s the best chronograph availabe in my opinion. Even my Rolex AD (they also handle Omega) agrees it’s a better watch than the Daytona. My sapphire sandwich is a joy to wear and mesmerizing to observe. Good luck… you’ve picked an amazing watch brand to explore.

I don't have any of their current line-up on my list, which is a shame because I have access to a discount (20% iirc). I recently sold my Speedy 105012, and would like a similar vintage non-bezel Seamaster for around £1k, but it's not likely to be for a couple of years.

If I had to choose it would be between these, a subtle dress watch and their modern classic:

I think I would get this one...

Ceramic, so it's super light and comfortable. And check out that lume!

Omega begins and ends with the Seamaster Aqua Terra.

As close to perfection as you can get. Sure the Speedmaster is iconic, like the Submariner, Lange 1 and the Calatrava, but the Aqua Terra is the one you want.

New: The Railmaster pictured in the first response of this thread definitely makes Mr Happy stand up and take notice.

Vintage: There was an older Seamaster pictured in a post a week or so ago that is absolutely beautiful…or a 60s Constellation.

Seamaster Aqua Terra World Timer

I've had four, and only have this one left. It's the first Omega I ever bought, as well as the first true high quality watch I ever bought.

I could not pick just one...

So, I will show you some wrist shots from the collection...

And you can see if any pique your fancy...

There are a couple of Constellations in my area for sale at under $1K that are just cheap enough to appeal to my used car salesman alter ego. It's all in how you rock it!

Wow. Incredible pieces there. That Malachite seamaster is sooooo groovy 🔥 But then there’s the gold and green speedy…but I don’t know…that malachite…

This is the tough thing about “one“ Omega. We’re spoiled for choice with the brand. I have a white SPM300, modern speedy and an old C case style constellation. ATs might be the best “one” Omega though…and there’s like a million references so still lots of choices

Speedmaster. You may think it’s a watch with over exposure but there is a damn good reason so many people have it and own it. Aqua Terra’s are great too and if you like divers than the 300 line is fantastic but the Speedy is fantastic

Current Speedmaster 3861

Oh man, this is a toughie…but my GADA contender happens to be this Omega rockstar:

So hard to pick just one. Seamaster Professional, Speedmaster, Aquaterra, Railmaster, can't really go wrong with them.

Globemaster

Absolutely! Tried it on with the rubber strap, very very comfortable.

I'd say the Speedmaster with a hesalite crystal and a closed back, just the way it was since its inception. If we're talking about the current catalogue, that is.

Here's my favourite of the vintage Omegas that I own, a 1949 ref. CK 2537-4, 35mm Staybrite case, equipped with what back then was the apex of Omega's non-chronometer 30mm movements - cal. 283 with its enhanced antimagnetic hairspring.

A must have would probably be a Speedy, but I think for me, I would probably go with the Aqua Terra. Classic GADA watch and interesting dials to choose from.

I’m very simple, Speedy Moon Watch. A true Grail Watch and it’s also a really great watch.

It’s simply a stunning movement and definitely a sleeper at a glance

I have the WatchCo “remake” and it’s truly a stunning watch. Perfectly balanced with no excess

There are many, but I want to mention a few that have always caught my attention unlike other watches in the omega catalogue. The first is the Alaska project speedmaster. It’s truly a think of stark Beauty. It’s form over function while also increasing legibility to a degree that you don’t typically see in speedmasters

The next one is the Ranchero. Purely based off as the tics, I absolutely love this watch and wish they revived the line. The lay out of the entire dial paired with my favorite handset on any watch: The broad arrow/ dauphine combo. It’s something that simply works.

Finally we have omega Seamaster 300 166.024 and related dial layouts. The sword hands simply work and this is a another example of a no frills watch that does it’s job. Inc act it did it’s job so we’ll it gave rise to most jther military design.

Diver 300

De ville hour vision?

Well I already own it. The Planet Ocean Seamaster. Rolex’ direct competitor and one great watch. Bigger at 43.5 mm but has a COSC and METAS certified movement, if this is important to you. White gold hands and indecies. Sapphire crystal, exhibition back is also sapphire and 60 hour power reserve. Yes the lume has a different color on the minute hand.
