This is a classic.

Nothing in their current line looks this good. I don't like that the minute hand has an arrowhead and the hour hand does not. The symmetry of the old ones is missed. Additionally, there are also some Omega models where the hour hand has the arrowhead, and the minute hand does not. Why?

The lack of design language consistency really hurts Omega's aspirational legacy.
