·I guess that it depends upon what you mean by classic. I would probably vote for the pie pan Constellation because there really isn't anything else like it in the watch world. As compelling as the Speedmaster and Seamaster are, there are dozens of chronograph and diver models on the market.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoTotally agree, the ref 14900, dog-leg Constellation with a pie-pan dial is truly iconic.

··history nerdAgreed - something from the glory days of the Constellation (pie-pan or C-case), or a De Ville from the same era.

··"I cut it TWICE and it's still short!"This should be in a top 10 for classic Omega. There may be others with better design or fewer made, but this seems to evoke classic Omega to me.

··"I cut it TWICE and it's still short!"
Reference 14762 SC 61 (preceeded 166.010), year 1961, caliber 562, 34mm (wears larger).
It's a good pairing with the 14900 for a great 2 watch collection. Throw in a 105.012 and you’re in heaven.
This particular watch is on its way back from a service.

··Ash @ ΩFI’m sort of in two minds about this, when I think of the most iconic classic Omega that just makes an impact and stands for the best of the brand, the OT2930 grand luxe and OT2699 Constellations are at the top of that list but they’re quite uncommon at the same time.
Then when I think of the classic Omega in terms of the every man’s watch that was produced in incredible numbers, left a generation of happy customers and greatly exceeded its remit, I think of the Seamaster De Ville reference 166.020. Omega cranked out so many of those 166.020s and the majority of them are still very good.

··Home For Wayward WatchesFirmly in the 1950s Constellation camp here. This style no matter how rendered, in stainless steel or gold or any factory combination thereof is my favorite Omega of all.
