Despite collecting for nearly 20 years, never heard of the HV until quite recently. Absolutely knocked out by it when stumbled on by chance not least the bargain price. Surpassed my AT which I never thought would happen. But very little presence on the net which surprises me.

It’s a fantastic watch and the best value modern dress watch on the used market imo

My favorite model line of the modern omegas - at least until they cut costs on it and made dials without minute hash marks.

It's too large for a dress watch. I wouldn't wear one if you gave it to me for free.

Thanks - good to know.

I do think they look good though. And if I had a large wrist I'd be interested. But with a 6.9 inch/17.5cm wrist, I don't like dress watches that are larger than 38mm. And I prefer them around 36mm.

I love the silver dial version. George Clooney likes his so much he wears it playing softball. In fact, I think this is his most worn watch. It's the one he normally wears with a dinner jacket/tuxedo.
