Tim Mosso's Omega Seamaster + Top 10 Omega Watches Of the Last Ten Years
HTML-код

- The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch is the most famous chronograph in the world. It's also Omega's iconic watch and cornerstone for collectors of the brand. But even Speedmasters come in many forms, and Tim Mosso has assembled his top ten Omega Speedmasters, Seamasters and more from the last ten years of watchmaking. This show features to top ten Omega watches of the last ten years.
The Omega Moonswatch was a hit and a controversy all in one. From a success standpoint, the Omega X Swatch MoonSwatch Speedmaster Chronographs were blockbusters. Buyers lined up at Swatch stores with numbers and intensity not seen since the early 1990s heyday of the Swatch watch brand. At $260 and clearly fabricated from plastic, the Moonswatch is not a luxury watch. The quartz powered chronograph - available in several colors or "mission" - sold so well that roughly 1 in 16 Swiss watches exported in 2022 was a Moonswatch.
Fans and collectors argue that the Moonswatch introduced Omega watches to a younger audience and pushed back the tide of smart watches that have been eroding entry-level Swiss watch production. Critics argued that it damaged the Omega brand and encouraged young people to become watch flippers. Tonight, Tim will discuss both perspectives and poll the live audience about its opinion.
On the luxury end of the spectrum, the Omega Speedmaster Caliber 321 (reference 311.30.40.30.01.001) was a true luxury watch hit for Omega. Launched in 2020, the 39.7mm steel Speedmaster Caliber 321 is a faithful re-edition of the Omega Speedmaster 105.003 used by American astronaut Ed White during his pioneering space walk on June 3, 1965. The revival of column wheel chronograph caliber 321 answered the decades-long prayers of Omega watch collectors. Although priced at $15,400, the Speedmaster Caliber 321 remains so popular that dealers maintain waiting lists four years after the debut of the watch.
If you have ever considered buying a luxury watch, this buyer's guide is for you!
All of this plus live discussion and watch collector wrist shots appears tonight on "Watches Tonight!"

This show is criminally underrated. Tim knows so many watches off the top of his head it’s ridiculous. Tim, I’m in Toronto Canada and I really appreciate your content when I get home from a long day of work. Cheers kind sir. Your a gentleman and a scholar
Tim one of a kind. Grateful to have him as a guide through this passion!
Tim is the watch 🐐!!
Yeah, I'll be lucky to get 10K views on this. It breaks my heart because of the emotion and energy that goes into making it, but it's not a click magnet. I'm not sure how much longer I can commit a full Monday each week to preparing this in its current full-length format.
Best,
Tim
Weekly shows that maintain the high standard you’ve set seems unrealistic. Love the show, but if you drop to bi-monthly, or monthly, I think we would all understand. Sadly, all good things must come to an end. Im here for the duration.@@the1916companywatchreviews
@@the1916companywatchreviews You can't stop with the show Tim! Usually its to late for me to watch live (lives in Norway ) but I love to have my breakfast or evening snack and watch the show. Tuesday will not be the same without!
One of my favourite episodes that I’ve seen. Thanks for showcasing some of Omegas best this last decade. My favourites are the CK2998, denim Railmaster, and titanium Seamaster.
Tim.....the 2998 a permanent part of my collection on an Aaron Bespoke Strap. I love it.
Tim, thanks for turning me onto my grail and one and only watch. The blue calibre 9605. It is beautiful and has everything I could ever need. The wrist presence it has is off the charts. I wear it on a FORSTNER ladder bracelet. ❤
Tim is the best. This was a great briefing.
I'm never letting go of my ed white 321 reissue. It's a work of art and fits like a dream.
Glad to see the Ultra Light on the list. One of the coolest price-not-important watches any brand has done in the last few years
I love the ultra light!
The new 2024 Paris Olympics Omega is stunning
I went to the Grey Side but couldn't resist the meteorite dial and rose gold accents. The only downside is that the gold edge of the bezel is not as scratch resistant so a bit more care must be taken.
My favorite brand!! Long time viewer here:) I was really hoping you’d list what I thought was your favorite Aqua Terra - the 38 mm Annual Calendar, as one of your top ten.
Good thinking Tim... stay classy.
I *have* seen a brown dial 3rd Gen Overseas time & date. The owner, a Charlotte banker, moved it as a nearly straight trade for a Patek Philippe perpetual calendar chronograph.
It's a VERY special watch. I loved it at the time, but nobody else did, so it's rare. I suspect that it's close in rarity to the 2000V Ultra Thin OS gen III. I've seen two of those firsthand but only one brown dial 4500.
Best,
Tim
Tim - we’d love to hear/see more about the Garrick S6 - or have I missed a video on that?
What bangers at the beginning there. Gotta change carrier.
What's nice with the Grey side is it still looks like metal. Isn't it time for some smaller ceramics? Most are like this one or even bigger.
I'd like to see a true Moonwatch sized ceramic case or the 39.7mm CK2998 case in ceramic. That and thinner models are my wishes for future Speedmasters.
Best,
Tim
How does he know so many things
Great video 👍
The problem with Omega is their service costs are too high.
It will bankrupt your hobby if you have to service one of the high complication timepiece.
Most high end collectors don’t buy complicated movements from Omega. 95% of Omega’s sold are 15k or less.
if you can afford one of their high complication timepieces you can afford the service costs. You know they call them luxury timepieces.
I think we've got co-axial certified Omega watchmakers in house. And I'm pretty sure we're not the only independent but certified Omega shop around. See if you can get one of those to look at the next Omega you need to service.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews your reply don’t make any sense.
@@mikemurphy8996try serving a moon watch 😂
Tim, great show and thank you for the advanced notice RE: no show next week. Also appreciate you not tolerating that rude commenter at the end of the show.
What incident are you referring to?
Yeah, that weirdo at the end was clearly a lowlife. The thumbnail I posted is an actual combo I put together on Omega's website, and I think it looks cool. We'll be back with Watches Tonight on October 7. Thanks for supporting the show.
Best,
Tim
Oof that thumbnail. Who picked it?
It has a rainbow strap… don’t get hung up. You’re too old to even give that detail attention, move along
@@austincragin7391 I thought it looked cool and might win a few extra clicks. It's a real combination that I optioned on Omega's website configurator. There's also a UCI-style rainbow strap for cycling fans.
Best,
Tim
So you're making Omega political???? Queer Omega? And here you are on YT, guess you never made it in the Castro
