SOTC - Driver, Diver, Dress

My current SOTC and three watch collection. Feeling super fortunate to be where I’m at and enjoy these. They are perfect for me and my lifestyle. Will stick with these for a while until I hit some large milestones in my personal side hustles.

Tudor Black Bay Chrono M79360N-0002

Omega SMPc 212.30.41.20.01.003

Omega Aqua Terra 2503.30

Great trio you have here🔥

Surprised you didn't go Speedmaster.

Sweet trio 👏🏻👏🏻

I always enjoy viewing 3 watch collections . I think having only 3 watches makes the owner put some real thought into their selection , each having a specific use . Fantastic trio OP 👌🏽

Thought the same. Would be a nice personal trinity.

Rock solid trio! The quest for more is over my friend🤝

Awesome, love this reference, I think the first gen with no wave dial is the best. Love the deep black on the dial and applied logo. It's a Forstner president bracelet. It's not bad, but I'm looking to replace it with a speedmaster bracelet in the future once I figure out what works. I've seen photos of successful swaps but still unclear on now to make it work.

@Inkitatus @Watchmade Believe me it was a tough decision and was definitely a consideration, but I really wanted a white/panda chrono and did not like any in the Omega catalog except for the 44m racing, which was too large and too expensive (at the time) for me. Though I agree getting a speedy would very nicely complete the Omega trio, I figured I wouldn't be completely happy if got speedy just to have a speedy. So I got what I knew I would personally enjoy and I have no regrets with the Tudor. (200m water resistance on a chrono is also a nice to have, hah!)

Thx for the reply, indeed the Tudor is an awesome piece and you can definitely tell the differences to the Speedmaster. Also great to see that you follow your own preferences and don‘t want just to do the „well-known“.

I‘m also super fascinated by two and three watch collections :)

But with three watch collections I struggle to understand the use case for each watch. I mean, I get the use case for the diver and the dress watch (although the Aqua Terra is a bona fide GADA and would be a very very strong candidate for a one watch collection).

But how does the chrono fit in? When would you pick up the the Tudor over the two Omegas?

@DeeEx27 Great question. I think the answer varies for everyone, but for me (putting specs and details aside) I like having the option of a light or dark dial. There are times when I much prefer wearing the panda chrono for contrast or more wrist presence. As of late I have been enjoying wearing an all black outfit with the Tudor and a pair of boots or white sneakers. If I am in the mood for something that does not stand out as much I'll choose the black Seamaster and sometimes pair it with a black nato.

I completely agree about the Aqua Terra, if I had to only keep one it would probably be the AT as it seems to fit all use cases for my lifestyle. But I am very happy to have the diver and driver as well. At one point I had a Cartier tank as a proper dress watch but realized that it just wasn't for me. I was wearing it more for it's cachet rather than because I enjoyed it. I receive much more enjoyment from the AT as a dress and GADA watch.

And as a side note I think the first gen AT's are an absolute value for the money (was considering a Datejust but could not justify the cost for what you get). Not sure why the AT's are not more popular, but I'm also thankful because it has kept it's price down.
