    I would have guessed around 200. Very far off.

    Remember though that Omega gives different references depending on the strap.

    For instance the 3870.50 is the same watch as the 3570.50 but just originally came on a leather strap instead of bracelet.

    It still is a crazily complex portfolio... Some weed and feed might be needed here...

    The vid has a rather specific “1,658” models cited, so there’s a crossed wire somewhere it seems. Perhaps the answer is different depending on which market Omega is facing?

    Then, the vid goes on to break down to 4 top brand families as follows:

    • Constellation: 524 models
    • De Ville: 447 models
    • Seamaster: 570 models
    • Speedmaster: 118 models

    That adds to 1,659 (not 1,658) :thumbsdown:

    I thought it a cool vid. He ultimately chooses the FOIS as his personal fave.

    Clearly each one is super rare- just like every Rolex- rarity in the millions.

    I’m not surprised. It seems like there’s about 500 different versions of the Aqua Terra alone ;)

    I wonder if any of those 1,658 models have limited availability.
    I am no talking about limited editions. But in relation to waiting lists such as in some Rolex models, due to a demand higher than the offer.

    The fella knows his watches... ;)

    Interesting vid and a useful breakdown. Had no idea idea there were so many Constellations. Or De Villes. No wonder they can't find the time to make more EW321s, NTTDs and Snoopys.

    Very interesting video to see!

    That would’ve ben my guess as well, strange that we’re so far off.
