Most Desirable Vintage Omegas

psholtz · Aug 15, 2012

What are the most desirable vintage Omega models from circa the 1960s?

If we took the models Constellation, Seamaster, Deville, Geneve, Railmaster, Ranchero, etc, and ranked them in order of desirability, value, etc, what would that list look like?

Need to be specific models really more than model lines, but CK2915, CK2914, CK2913 the holy trinity of sports Omegas is up there, Grand Lux Constellations are as well, especially Rose Gold, White Gold and Platinum

Ah yes... the obvious choice.. 😀

I was thinking, though, that much of the "DNA" of that Moonwatch is still available in the currently available 3570.50..

I guess I was wondering more about "vintage" models in the sense that they're no longer available from Omega.

But yes, true, the Moonwatch is classic 1960s Omega choice..

if you want to know what my name is you can ask? I'll tell you, its not Patrick. But I don't want to troll this thread so make a new post about that. As for desirable 60s Omegas, I meant The Moonwatch. The one on Buzz's wrist in the photo. Not just any pro. You know, as the most desirable.

That's sort of an inside joke here. 😉 No worries, post away if you aren't Patrick!

For me the top has to be the trilogy - 2913, 2914, and 2915.
Then the cal. 321 speedmasters the earlier the better - special mention here for 2998-1, 2998-2 and 105.002
Grand luxe constellations - especially if in pink/white gold and platinum
Cloisonne dial constellations and seamasters
Cal. 33.3 chronographs with original complicated dials in stainless steel screwback case or in snapback case with the elaborate hinge lugs
Square gold case cosmic triple date moonphase
Rare manual wind chronometres - screwback case ref. 2410 and the synchrobeat
Golden Seamaster in 18k gold with original gold bracelet - especially if in WG or the never seen
White dial vintage railmaster (Canadian market only from the 1950s) and at least for me the '53 RAF with original thin arrow dial
Original 1938 pilot watch

I'm going to throw in all four variants of scarab, particularly the larger ones since they're highly desirable once you actually see them and know they exist, but more significantly they're ridiculously good value at the price they sell for right now and likely to go up with time.

Also going to throw in the modern 2254.50 (no longer in production) as a piece that's both highly desired and increasing in value even though its by no means vintage.

And any 2.4Mhz megaquartz watches, especially anything with a stardust dial
