In an idle moment I got to thinking about which Omega model I’d like to see revived and added to the current lineup.
I thought about a chrono, but there are a myriad of current models. Then a dress watch, but Connies and De Villes have that pretty much covered. For divers we have the Seamaster line.

I know there is a lot of love for the Railmaster, but that does not particularly appeal to me.

Then it came to me. I believe there is a model that could be successfully revived, and would have some degree of heritage to it. Omega has a history of military watches, but for whatever reason it’s chosen not to include a “military” style watch in the current lineup.

My preference would be to revive the Dynamic III Auto. Why?

Personally, I think it was a watch released ahead of its time and potentially that time has now come. I’ve been unscientifically keeping track of the sales of these and the asking prices are rising! It’s got a lot going for it – simple, clear, killer lume and a good (but not excessive) size.



Would I change anything? Maybe I’d replace the minute track with the minute track from the chrono and ensure that the lug width was 20mm (I believe the original was 19mm, but I could be wrong).



If Omega reissued the Dynamic III with a no-nonsense auto movement, and kept the price down below say $1750, it could also be an ideal “gateway” watch to the wider world of Omega.

Will probably never happen, but we can always dream

 

Pie pan Connie!

 

Umm there is one in the lineup currently and its been around for awhile at least 2013....https://www.omegawatches.com/watches/constellation/constellation/co-axial-38-mm/12353382102001/

Plus you could look at the Pie pan Globemasters released last year.

 

Some great things can't be recreated

 

Yes, so there is. Such the massive bezel makes it lack a certain grace or delicacy to my eye. You're right, though, it is a pie pan.

 

I think the Globemaster is a better tribute. I keep eyeballing them, but have yet to pull the trigger.

 

Something in a C case. Precious metal option (prefer white gold), 38mm and with matching exotic strap and buckle.

Or a two hander ultra thin.

 

You had me at white gold c-case.

 

I wonder how he got that gig lol. Not saying he was a bad driver... but if his brother was not the God of F1( and Omega spokesman,) no one would really remember him.

I still love those Dynamics, and search for them every once in awhile looking for a good deal.

 

How about adding something with a triple date moonphase? That's like 39 or 40mm dia. steel and/or gold cased. They don't all have to be military dials or chronographs.

 

Yep, the 2254 always had the potential to be Omegas Sub... Of course Omegas marketing department went to great lengths to make sure they drop the ball...

Way more classic then the bond with those squelletonized hands (does anybody here REALLY like those)?
