I do like Omega generally, but am not a fan of the scalloped edge on the bezel. Otherwise that a massive hit!
Sorry to be delayed answering. I have to go by my experience. In this case I bought an Islander Manhasset with jubilee style bracelet. The basic price for that model is nearly $300 USD. My Hamilton khaki watches were each just under $400, and my JDM Seiko Sarb033 and Sarb017 were well below $400. The Islander is not remotely comparable to any of those. It is pretty close to my wife’s Sea-Gull and also to my Invicta Pro Divers. The Islander is also somewhat close to low price Seiko quartz watches I’ve had. So generally I put Islander in the same category at Ali Express or Chinese specials. My opinion is Island Watch cost so much because they’re based in NY, which is much more expensive than being based in China.
For every day I really want micro adjustment on the clasp which the Omega doesn’t have. So if the Longines retains some adjustability I’d go for it.
Looks fabulous! I like Longines and think they really have a hit with this one.
