    Hello everyone,
    as some of you have surely noticed I've joined Omega Forum lately. I've discovered that topics regarding Omega Ladies' watches are very few. So ladies which Omega watches do you rock? / gents, which Omegas your ladies wear?

    When it comes to my collection - currently I've got Constellation Mini '95 (1562.40), Constellation Manhattan (131.10.28.60.05.001), Speedmaster Reduced (3834.70.36) and Speedmaster 38 (324.30.38.50.06.001). Pics attached below ;)

    Some of you may know me from instagram @OmegaLadiesClub or from contributing to Fratello Watches content discover my latest article on -> new Trésor models.

    All the best,
    Karina

    What are the chances? I think I actually read that! Weren't you making the point that manufacturers need to design for modern women who want something larger than they have traditionally been made to accept, but not just scaled-down versions of men's? I wasn't keen on all the laser etching on the back of the Tresors, but maybe that just proves the point that men need to stand down on these questions.
    Btw my daughter finds some 60s Geneve style and size pieces just ideal!

    My lady is more of a traditionalist in the styles she chooses. She has many watches, amongst which are three karat gold Omegas.

    My daughter seems to like a range of watch sizes from this Tissot

    to this Connie which she stalked in August

    And twisted my arm to re-size today

    But she likes the full size Speedy Pro the best

    and keeps asking for news about the next Snoopy.

    With all respect to their current owners, my daughter told me never to gift her an Omega Sapphette. Idiot me, my wife had to explain to me why not. :confused: Different times... ::facepalm2::

    Great idea for a thread. My wife must have caught the vintage bug from me.....here are a few of the watches she seems to like the best...fortunately she has a petite wrist so she wears the smaller cases well....she left for a business trip to Zurich Sunday wearing the Universal Geneve.

    What a great topic! My wife is very frugal, which can be a good thing, but she has not taken to luxury watches. I like the idea of just getting her a great watch for a special day and seeing what happens!

    SWMBO doesn't like 'ladies' watches, finds them overly delicate, too small and virtually unreadable, the old adage of Ladies watches being called wristlets couldn't be more apt in her eyes. So for my wife the watch has to be big, bold but clear, she knows what she is looking for, the watch must be round, so odd shaped watches are out.

    At present she is wear an automatic Tissot which she loves, and early next year will pick up her first Rolex with a DJ36 in TT.

    If I'm honest watches are not her thing, a nice diamond necklace or a bracelet are more what she likes but slowly she is beginning to like watches with the Rolex her first majorly expensive watch.

    My fiancee's daily driver is a Tag Heuer Lady Aquaracer quartz. Now that I've found my Seamaster, she thinks I'm looking for the DeVille Prestige (new, no appreciation for anything vintage) that she wants for Christmas. She is mistaken.

    Some of my wife's favorites here, including two Omegas, an Air-King, and an obscure French vintage panda chronograph with navy blue sub-dials, which she wears on a blue perlon strap. She also likes to wear a white ladies G-Shock. Interestingly, she recently expressed interest in a vintage Helbros Invincible skin diver (shown below), so I will probably give that to her as well. My biggest mistake is showing her watches that I have decided to sell, since she frequently confiscates them at that point.

    Of all of these, obviously only the Speedmaster and G-Shock are ladies watches.

    More of what Mrs. C. wears.

    1/ Is her Rolex Lady Date.

    2/ Is a 6-size, 15-jewel, gold filled Illinois circa 1905.

    3/ Is a 6-size, 15-jewel Elgin that was her grandmother’s, circa 1905. Golf filled, four colours of gold trim.

    4/ Is a tonneau shaped white gold filled Longines circa mid 1920s I think.
