My favorite Omega is the one I happen to be wearing at the moment.... thats why I'm wearing it! unless I have something else on, like my Longines or my Tudor..... then thats my favorite.....right now at least........

sometimes its a bitch to take just one out of the case to wear...... because they're all my favorite.......

now you got me thinking dammit....... I suppose if I had to own just one it would be the 18k '55 Tresor caliber 501....... but thats easy to say because I have it on right now.......

Grrrrrrrr........

Why? Because there are many chronograph and divers, but any 18k historical watch with ultra-modern movement from great company will cost *2 than Tresor.

Sorry, no modern Omega favourite at all.

Last nice watch they launched was prob. the 2254 (not considering vintage rehashes like the nice Tresor).

Since then I find they try too hard winning against Rolex by being like Breitling.

What are my choices getting something sub40mm semi-formal without date ?

Rlx must have 30+ dial/model combinations, Omega has what? 3???

Off course if you are into 42+mm "Hummer-style" watches, Omega is right up there with Breitling/Tag/invicta...::stirthepot::

I guess you could add Hublot to that list.

Seriously don't see Omega falling in that group. I hope to view the latest offerings this week. I don't expect to be disappointed

Rehashed definition: to work up old material in a new form.
Tresor = rehash is a bit harsh, but if that's the reference then Rlx truly are the masters in warmed up old cheese. Must be a Swiss fondu thing.

My favourite is my Globemaster. It's simple yet fascinating and very photogenic.

There isn't a single thing I want to improve or change about it (now that it's on a mesh bracelet). If I had to reduce my collection down to one piece, this would be it......but that would be no fun at all would it? So like many others here I suppose the correct answer is that my favourite is whichever one I'm currently hunting for, i.e. Baby Ploprof 166.0250 with acrylic bezel and split 12 o'clock index, or maybe a SHOM or maybe .....
Also my favorite- Globemaster is understated but elegant. Just a great every day every occasion watch. Love the photo.

no good modern omegas?? i must agree to disagree.
aqua terra, planet ocean (pick your fave dial color combo)...then the sm300 mc coax....then the globemaster!!

My PO 2500 - daily wear and just as good in the office as it is casual or on the beach. Love it!

2254.50. To me, this model was the last "Tool Watch" diver. It kept the traits that made the Submariner famous so long ago. The painted dial, big, brightly lumed sword hands, classic looks and looked great a variety of straps.

All my watches have significance , so they are all special , but to say one is favorite is very tricky,
the watch my parents bought for my 16th birthday was a dive watch which was exactly what i wanted , but my very first watch was something that was the start of my learning to tell the time properly, and at 7-8 years old brings back a lot of memories as all my watches do.
When you start a collection, for one reason or another each new watch will be a favorite until you see the next one for the collection.
Maybe a watch that you wear most often could just be a watch for all purposes, or a watch that is easily noticeable could become a favorite.
which ever watch i wear has a story and possible favorite status.
Question- out of all your watches, which would be the last one you would give up?

I have to say the Speedmaster because its iconic, and looks amazing.

Always liked those and have been tempted in the past. My small collection of timepieces is a little monochromatic & one of these and/or a 16610LV would add a great splash of colour!

This PO 2909.5038 is my favorite. I love looking at it, and hope to get a bracelet for it soon. I'd like to own a Speedy Moonwatch or Seamaster 300 coaxial someday.
