With retirement I begin an interest in watches one year ago. I have submersed myself into this hobby and come along way. My first three watches turned out to be a mistake so they’re all gone I found that Omaga resonated with me the most so I decided to have only Omegas. I have five watches now and I felt it was important that my collection tell a story and not be redundant. After I had two watches I decided that a nice five watch collection would be some representation of the four model lines that Omega uses today. Next and since The first line was the Seamaster, I wanted a watch to represent the best of omega before the launch of therefore Current lines. So this is what I have procured:

1. New Chronoscope. I wanted a speedmaster but I did not want to be predictable. This is a nod to the 1940s.

2. New 41 mm aqua terra. I hate the OEM bracelet and bought this omega leather strap. This represents the seamaster family

3 1968 Deville custom green dial resto mod. Again I wanted a watch collection that did not have any redundancies.. This covers the Deville family

4 Original 1967 constellation. This of course covers the constellation family and also I wanted one original patinaed watch. I love that it came with a Speidel bracelet. It is the perfect aesthetic. I swear this could’ve been my grandfather’s watch

5. With the four model lines covered, I decided one representative watch from before then. The 30 T2 movement is a must for this role. This is a 1943 subsecond 30 t2 original dial refinished case. Into a brown leather strap. Again avoiding redundancy.


Thanks for reading!

That De Ville really jumps out, but the Constellation is probably my favourite.

Thank you for sharing your collection and narrating your thoughts. Always interesting to see what others like, and why.
I almost bought the Chrono scope in the OB at Heathrow but waljed away at last minute.
And I’ve worn AquaTerra daily since 2013 With the vertical teak dial.
Your collection shows restraint. Will you limit at 5 or allow it to grow? I admire the one in one out people. My version is 1 Speedmaster in, one Seiko sports out.

Thank you for the welcoming. Yes there are three slots left and I get your drift. I can’t imagine they will be empty forever😂. I have read so much about Omega and my purchases have been very intentional. Each one offers something unique. I don’t have a favorite and I think that tells me I’m on the right track.

I’m looking forward to exploring the site and see what makes everybody else tick. 😂🤓🥸

I like your taste in watches. Do you find yourself wearing one more than the others?

Hansaboy-there’s a perfect one watch collection!

I really don’t wear any one more than others but I do change out watches a couple times a day.. I guess the Chronoscope is my Grail watch and probably my favorite.

TBH, it is stuffed with Speedys…😊😊

That pic was from when I bought the box and showed it to the Forum!

Very nice group! The Chronoscope would be my go-to as well but the others would all get my attention!
