Omega

I have a number of different Omegas in my collection but I always seem to be attracted to Seamasters and Constellations.  For me they epitomize all the things that are good about vintage Omegas - style, quality, performance, longevity, value, history, ……….I could go on and on enthusing but here are some of mine.

Bottom row, L to R:

1949 gold filled Seamaster 2577 cal 351,

1952 steel Seamaster 2627 cal 355,

1954 gold/steel Constellation 2782 cal 354

Top row L to R:

1964 gold Seamaster 165(5)003 cal 552, 

1964 steel Constellation 167.005 cal 551,

1965 gold Constellation 168(5)004 cal 561

I wonder why it is that I can't find anything modern that appeals as much but funnily enough it seems that somewhere along the long distant past, Omega and others have lost the plot.

Hi Andrew,

you spoke from the bottom of my heart as well! As much as I find many contemporary Omega watches too large, bulky and flashy, as much do I value the vintage Omegas for the opposite: decent size, easy to wear, timeless classic design.
I actually sold three modern Omegas during the last year and increased the vintage ones at the same time .

You might find this presentation of a vintage Seamaster interesting that I posted recently: omega.watchprosite.com

Back then I was consoled by the fact that there are more people out there who feel the same way about these lovely vintage Omega watches.

Kind regards,

Lovely collection Aroma, however i'm sure you dont really need the 1964 167.005 with the cal 551. it needs to be in a collection amongst brethren of its own age........namely mine

and i mean that most sincerely folks.

I'm also left a little cold by most of Omega's modern offerings, but can't get enough of their vintage pieces. Seamasters & Connies for me also, but I mixed in a Genève and a Seamaster De Ville too. As of now, I think I have a baker's dozen - and maybe more if I ever pry Hoi's 2627 white waffle dial with the caliber 353 from his grasp to complete my bumper 35x series.



Steve's (Cicindella) 14.381 caliber 551 plus his Constellation caliber 712 ultra-thin really need to be in my collection too.

....and Kyle's Globemaster 503.

....and a multitude of Desmond's watches.

....and nearly all of Mike's (MSNWatch) too.

Let me stop now before I plot a major heist to afford all this.

Very nice selection of some of the best timepieces Omega ever made. I do agree that quality, accuracy and reliability of these timpieces is what makes vintage Omega so special and likeable.

A bit out of date, missing new additions, but I figured it fit the pattern of thought here.
