every watch collection should have this Omega...

I'm a huge fan of the Globemaster, PO, and of course the Speedmaster, but for me, if you can only have one Omega (and right now, I can only have one Omega!), the AT has always been it!

While the Speedmaster is designed specifically to be anti-reflective, the domed crystal/vibrant dials they put on the AT's use light to dramatically change the appearance of the watch depending on the viewing angle.

For instance, mine has a dark grey/black wave pattern (as seen on sidewalks in Rio/Lisbon) that you can see when the watch is face up. However, when you view it from other angles, the gloss black dial looks pitch black and as if the rose gold hands/markers are floating.

Another advantage to AT (this is subjective of course) is that it feels just as at home with a suit as it does with a solid tshirt/nice jeans combo.

Did someone say blue dial?
I picked this one over Omega.
Not my photo.


That's a beautiful Zenith 🥰

I almost went with a blue dial AT, but opted instead for a Globemaster. The only thing that gave me pause with the AT is the extensive use of high polish on the case, bracelet and - in particular - the bezel, which looks like a scratch magnet. The Globemaster uses a mostly satin finish with some high polish details and a scratch proof, tungsten carbide bezel. Added to that is the Globemaster’s pie pan dial which appeals to me more than the “teak deck” of the AT. Hard to go wrong with either one, though.

Referring to the original post, the AT is referred to as “the most iconic Omega of the last decade”. Since my newest Omega is 30 years old, my collection of nearly 20 Omegas consists of “iconic” Omegas going all the way back to about 110 years ago. That is enough iconic Omegas for me.
