Tudor vs Omega

[Hulkhunter]

Looking for some viewpoints:

How does Tudor compare to Omega in terms of quality? (Materials, movement, finish etc)

Which model(s)?
Current or vintage?

Omega’s new watches fitted with the Master Chronometer movements are a lot better than anything from Tudor. The METAS certified Omega movements are some of the best in the industry. Outstanding.

Thanks for that. Kind of thought as much.

I’m still fairly new to the hobby so I’m not too clued up on the ins and outs of movements. It’s just good to know you are getting good value for money and isn’t all about paying for a name.

If you’re talking about value for the money, nothing beats a grand seiko imho!
I won’t compare the details and craftsmanship to Patek but for a fraction of the price, you get too darn close
I won’t compare the exclusivity to rolex but for a fraction of the price you can get pretty unique and very exclusive pieces!!

Well to me GS>Omega>Tudor

Grand Seiko certainly make lovely cases and dials - incredible finishing. But I am not sure the movement finishing comes that close to Omega - and is a country mile away from Patek.

Another question is, if Tudor has no relationship with Rolex, how would it compare?

I think Tudor is in the same class as Oris, Tag, etc.

I wouldn't entirely disagree

+1 although I tend to like Tudors styling more

Well said, and they’re quite striking too! (Not that the Tudors are not).

The only issue I have with Omegas are their thickness.

Came to say the same thing. Not too bad with Titanium, but my Steel Planet Ocean GMT is a weekend watch for sure!

Aren’t Most in house movement Tudors just as thick as most modern day omegas?

[Hulkhunter]

I was referring to the modern stuff. I’m considering buying either a SMP/PO or potentially a BB58 (Harrods) while I wait for a Sub allocation.

I had a Planet Ocean 600m Co-axial with their 8900 movement and it was incredibly accurate. I have since moved on from that piece and currently have a Tudor Pelagos which is also very accurate, though not quite as much as the Omega - the Tudor MT5612 runs a little fast (barely). I am wearing my SD4K as I type this and the 3135 movement is rock solid, in line with the Planet Ocean. I just can't see it like I could on the PO.

If you can deal with the thickness of a Planet Ocean I think it's a far better piece in terms of quality and manufacturing than the BB58. Totally different aesthetically though.

Just pay the premium and get a Sub today... better then a placeholder Omega or Tudor.

"Brand" value I think Omega remains better. Lots more advertisement and money spent on endorsements. Tudor is still playing catchup.

Overall, I'd ignore the brands here (since if playing the brand game, just play in the Rolex/Patek field). If playing the weaker brand pool, just look watch to watch and make a decision there by price point since finishing, etc will vary a lot from watch to watch. e.g. still no link adjustment on Speedmasters, but rolled out on the SMP.

Both brands make high quality watches that should last a lifetime and more.

This!

I'd pick Omega 10 out of 10 times. Omega have a lot of very nice models, and nothing in the Tudor lineup appeals to me at all.

this but opposite, other than some speedmasters.

Op, go with the which-ever you like more and dont forget to try them on in person.

I cannot believe we are comparing omega with tudor. You may aswell compare Rolex with tudor in that case.

yeah ... and WTF is wrong with that ??
Or do you really think Rolex is better ?

Take a rolex sub and a Pelagos ... compare them and TEST them ( waterproof, precision, shockproof, etc) You would be very surprised

If those were the criteria, a G-Shock would win every time.

You have a point

But if we look at something else like the finishing
My speedmaster is not better than any of my Tudor

Somehow people always look at the price
And if an omega costs 7k and a Tudor 4.5k they think the omega must be better

Unfortunately that is not correct

I’m not saying a Tudor is better than an omega.... but just don’t take it for granted that the omega is better than the Tudor

They are in the same league

I think they are pretty much equal, but with different styles, Tudors are more tools/ more rustic to put it one way. When I go to my AD Mayors that carries both brands and other I can tell the Omegas in the past few years has tried to regain all ground that lost in the 90's and 2000's with constant change of references, ETA movements and on... in any case now I think Omega's with new in house movements and better finish may be slightly higher. Buy what you like.

Yep. And they also omit the fact that "for some reason" the Omegas are heavily discounted on the online market - far from the official recommended retail prices quoted on Omega's website.

LOL. You have fallen for the same marketing hype that Rolex have been so successful at for decades. They've just switched their efforts to Tudor.
