What is your FAVORITE Omega and why?

··Home For Wayward WatchesMy favorite Omega is any of the 1950s Constellations with their "piepan" dials. Any model of those would do.
The first Omega watch addition to the menagerie here is a ratty stainless steel Constellation with 505 movement, the rose gold dart markers, and a redone dial with no crosshairs replaced but I've loved it and worn it a lot. A very trouble-free watch for daily wear or for journeys when one doesn't need his watch to let him down.
I'd love to collect one of each Constellation from the 1950s era with all the rare variations.
The Omega Centenary would be my favorite of an Omega model I don't own.

·My favourite is always whichever is on my wrist...
But for sentimental reasons...
I think that the one you love first is always the one you love most...
My first 'real watch' the Brosnan Bond SMP
But then there's also this one...
The First one my wife actually went out and bought me....
(With my credit card...but still, it is of irreplaceable sentiment)

·This is my favorite primarily because it's my wife's favorite and the one she really wanted me to have. She was there with me when I bought it and actually encouraged me to get it. It's also the watch purchase that ultimately got me to go on the VIP Watchmaker Course trip that reunited me with my uncle. This is the ultimate keeper for me. It also checks tons of boxes!
I do like this Speedy, although it's a bit big for me. Are the stars on the dial an accurate representation of any part of the night sky or just random? I'd love that to be an extra attention to detail. There are certain editions of Rolls Royces that have lights in the roof arranged in a representation of the night Sky from when it was built (or something like that!)

·Regardless of how many watches I end up owning, this will always be my favourite. It's not especially rare or valuable, it's a Quartz, and on an aftermarket expandable bracelet, but it was my grandfathers and I have many fond memories of him wearing it (and me playing with it as a kid). Out of the new Omega's I think the GSOTM has to be top.

It's random. Omega actually uses mineral fragments suspended in sapphire crystal for the dial -- it's not actually mineral aventurine as such (which would likely contain too many random lines etc. to reasonably simulate the night sky). The manufacturing necessary to put the fragments in a perfect simulation of the night sky would add a zero to the price for sure.

·Thanks for the explanation - still looks cool though! Yeah, that's why Rollers sell for 6-figure sums...

Wow. That's a really neat piece, regardless of the movement! And the fact that it was your grandfather's makes it that much cooler 😀

·At the moment, it's this. Usually, my favorites are the ones where I think, "yes, I want one" the first time I see it. If I still want if after a while, it goes on my "must have list".
My next is a Flightmaster, if I can only find one.

Can I ask where you obtained the information about the production of the dial? Is there a video or document somewhere about this?

On the VIP Watchmaker Course trip, one of the regional boutique trainers, Warren Carpenter, explained to me how they make the aventurine dial when I told him I own that watch. That was the first I had heard the explanation. Someone else told me about it again later, maybe Dan or perhaps my local Boutique manager. I don't know of any official documentation or videos about this (there's been a general dearth of info about this piece since it was released).

I really like the Speedy third from the right. Never seen one of those before, a few details perhaps?
