Omega

Picking your Omega

The Seamaster is the broadest family here. Aqua Terra is the everyday version, flat-dialled and comfortable under a cuff; Diver 300M is the wave-dial diver most people picture; Planet Ocean is the larger, more serious tool watch. The Speedmaster needs less introduction, and the manual-wind Moonwatch remains the one that went to the moon in 1969.

On the dressier side, De Ville is the deepest part of our Omega inventory, running from slim Prestige models to Tresor and Hour Vision. The Constellation sits between the two with its griffe claws and integrated bracelet, and the Globemaster revives the pie-pan dial.

Movements worth knowing

Omega's Co-Axial escapement changed the brand's servicing story, and Master Chronometer certification adds magnetic resistance to 15,000 gauss plus METAS testing on top of COSC. Older references with the 1120 or 2500 calibres are still excellent watches and usually better value; newer 8800 and 8900 movements bring the longer warranty and the anti-magnetic case. We will tell you which generation a given reference carries.

Condition, box and papers

Omega is one of the brands where condition varies most, because these watches get worn. We inspect every piece in-house, describe it as we find it, and note box and papers where present. Watches listed as price on request are available and quoted on enquiry, and we buy and trade Omega as well as sell it.
