Omega offer affordable quality and my Speedmasters represent a huge piece of history.
I love my Omegas. Sorry I cant post pictures,Im fairly new on the forum, I dont know how. Could someone give a few pointers on this please?

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, Omega are the one mid-level luxury brand that's really pushing boundaries right now. I love the technological advances they've been making both with movements and with bezels, the designs introduced in the past 2 or 3 years have really freshened the range, and the fact that they offer so much for the money. They're not afraid to celebrate their history, but they're still pressing on towards the future: sure, I think in some areas they need to cut down the range, there are too many niche-within-a-niche-within-a-niche watches that just confuse more than anything. But with their big hitters (Speedy Pro, Planet Ocean, SMP, Aqua Terra, Constellation) there is a purity of purpose that I like in a watch, and all of them look great on and off the wrist, and none of them cost more than an entry level Rolex. That's a hell of a lot of performance for not a lot of money (at least in watch terms)

A Omega is simply the watch for all occassions ;)

snowbird · 12 March 2011, 12:47 AM

Omega has a great history plus cool new designs such as the LM.

I love Omega because my grandfather wore a Seamaster and so do I. Thanks for the giveaway, and good luck to all! ... Deldog

Nice colllection Craig. I remember last year you showing me the first Omega I really looked at. Thanks Craig.

I decided to go with this one. I really like my Speedy Pro. Just got it this week.

Frogman4me · 19 March 2011, 12:43 PM

Two simple words "speedy pro!"

I absolutely adore my Po, I am now looking at the liquid version. My wife loves the Po, and has dropped several hints she would like one. It is pound for pound an amazing watch.

My favourite Omega without a doubt

For some reason, my wife didn't want to take a photo with my new book, I am starting to think she may not be into watches like I am.... Maybe I should have waited till off the throne to ask her...
Anyways, hope this qualifies as a photo of me enjoying the book, thank you again!

bewithabob · 26 March 2011, 11:50 AM

I love the history of Omega in the space program....I found this Omega, Walt Cunningham's Omega recently in an exhibit of the Apollo 7 Command module at the Flight Museum here in Dallas... the courage of these men and the watch they chose to wear into space...is amazing

I saw your post on this. I even hijacked one of the pics to learn more about that bracelet on that Speedy. I am being told Omega does not make it anymore

.

Thank you for posting it. Getting to the moon and walking on it's surface, such an accomplishment by man. I am proud to be of a species that has the intelligence to rocket to outer space, away from the safety of Earth, and walk on the moon.

There is a Space museum in Jackson Michigan, I'm going to be riding the this summer, I'll be sure to take my camera.

Lol-x · 26 March 2011, 08:38 PM

Great to know you received the book Matt.

Thanks for posting

cyglee · 7 April 2011, 01:02 PM

A very nice package from Stevo today...
