70s omegas (picture heavy)

I have been collecting for a short while now and have noticed a theme running through my collection. I bought my first omega on holiday while in LA. I was walking past a jewellery store and saw a Geneve megahertz in the window. I had a look and walked away but had to go back and get it. It was 600 pounds, probably about 599 pounds more than I should have paid but there was no way I was going to leave without it. I still own it and love it as much as the day I bought it. (Here is an image from the internet that is similar to mine but mine has a blue dial)


Since then I have mainly collected 70s omegas, mainly because of the funky design. Some are very recent purchases and I have not even seen them in the flesh or had a chance to wear them as I moved to Malawi for work and didn t take any of them with me.

I don't think I have a favourite, they are all interesting and I am telling myself that I won't buy any more but that goes out the window quite quickly.
I have developed a liking for speedmasters so I also have a speedytuesday le on reserve so not sure which ones are going to get any wrist time when I get home in July.

In case your missing your watches whilst in Malawi
Yours not the internet....😀

Love the 1040!

Haha thanks I tried to find images of those other watches. The banana I bought from Cristos 71. Most of my watches have been bought from forum members mostly from Tom Dick.

Thanks it is a beauty in the flesh too.

that speedsonic is something!
congrats

Can't beat the funky cool of 70's Omega!!! Love the Time computer!!!!!

Cool watches👍 My Albatross says hi😀

You can't beat the 70's stuff, I've been collecting much older stuff for some time no but every time I open my watch box and see my top 20 they are still the 70's pieces

And in first place is still this monster

I have to agree that, that one would top any list of seriously beautiful watches. I am sure there are many who think it is a bit over the top but that dial is just amazing.
