We're talking authentic Omegas here, not fakes. For me, many of the 1970's designs, although not all. Not entirely Omega's fault. With a few exceptions like music, it was just a really bad decade for architecture, clothes, shoes, hairstyles, cars - pretty much anything involving taste. 🤮

Surprisingly enough, the ones I dislike the most are the ones a vast majority of you seek and love... the DeVille with the round dial, stick hands, stick lugs. Oh so common and boring....

Bro, really?

Avocado Green and Harvest Gold appliances are hip as shit. 😉

That said, there was some decent music... I just can't recall any at the moment.

Derek and the Dominos, Chicago, Head East... and dozens more. Thank goodness it was not all easy listening or disco.

Lest we not forget perhaps one of the single most earth-shattering bands of that decade... Starland Vocal Band and their complex hit single, "Afternoon Delight".

Yes, agreed. The Beatles, the Stones, the Who, CSN&Y, etc. Those guys just suck. 😁

An easy answer would be one of those jeweled bezel Planet Oceans that Omega puts out from time to time, but I always found this to be the most unattractive Speedmaster ever made (even more than the LCD/digital versions in the 70s and 80s.

I give you the Omega Speedmaster Split Seconds Chronograph, produced (I think) in the late 90s. First time I saw a picture of it on a forum, I thought it was fake. Should be stricken from Omega history.

I don’t mean to offend anybody who likes this particular Omega Dynamic, but it gets MY vote for the U G L I E S T Omega ever foisted on the watch buying public. It was offered in a variety of colour combinations, not a one of which redeems what (to me) is the worst style the company ever offered. I don’t know how long it took for them to wake up, and scrub the design. F U G L Y!

CSN&Y are my wedding group, Suite judy blue eyes is our song!
I wanted "If you can't be with the one you love" but I was over-ruled.

Couldn't go full like because of the other muppets.

Okay, I'll risk being pilloried, I'm not a big fan of Speedies. I'm not sure that they are ugly but I think that three sub tachys are kinda tacky looking.

Easy answer for me: no offense, but I've never understood anyone wanting to wear one of these monstrosities.

My blind grandmother, bless her soul, would have rejected that one.
