Vintage Omega watches are becoming more and more collectable, especially classic models. \u00a0What are the reasons of this success ?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The movements.<\/strong>\u00a0 Firstly, the quality of their movements is really good : they were made to last and are still extremely reliable even if they are more than 50 years old. \u00a0If you service them every 5-10 years, you you won’t have any problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

The design.<\/strong> \u00a0Their design is timeless, with pure lines and nice proportions. \u00a0Some of them can be easily compared to the emblematic Patek Philippe Calatrava.<\/span><\/p>\n

The price.<\/strong> \u00a0Another argument is the price : for 1000\u20ac you can still find a nice example, in very good condition and guaranteed by a professional. \u00a0This is one of the purposes of this website : proposing vintage watches carefully selected, restored, and at reasonable prices. Omega sportswatches (Speedmaster, Seamaster 300) are quite expensive now, this is why a lot of collectors are also focusing on classic models.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is another reason we absolutely need to point out :<\/strong> it is the beauty of their dials<\/strong>. Take a loupe and have a close look at a dial : the quality is clearly high, with excellent finishes and subtle reflections. \u00a0Add a nice patina… how can you resist ?<\/span><\/p>\n

I have attached some pictures to show the diversity of Omega dials (but a lot of other versions exist).<\/span><\/p>\n
