In my opinion...Omega is a more badass watch than Rolex...I'm not a Rolex hater....my heart just belongs to Omega.
They are cheeper because they are not complitly made by hand ( movement is but finale touches are not), Rolex is complitly made by hand but omega have much more strict testing ( metara certificat) so you compromise on craftsmanship alittle but accurecy is better
@@ivanfrangugic8355 how do we really know Rolex are still being made by hand 100%?

My father gifted me with his mid-1950's Omega Constellation last year. I grew up seeing him wear it while we went fishing, hunting, camping and pretty much all the time. It's never been serviced and still keeps perfect time! Even got the original red Omega box. He and Elvis Presley were friends and Elvis bought an Omega about the same time as my dad. His was also a Constellation, but was gold/black with date complication. Love Omega!
Caleb Henderson lol no automatic watch keeps perfect time
omega does

Omega was the first watch I bought with my own money. I was always attracted to its detail and precise quality even though I own a Rolex too. Omega for life
I had 2 Seamasters, a Speedmaster and a 1935 Regulatour... Upon the completion of my Military career I found myself unemployed and nearly homeless. I had to sell off my Omega's to pay my rent, electricity etc... I love this company and will rebuild my collection.
Michael Nussbaum Go for it man. Best luck!
You have my respect and my best wishes!
Same, i had to sell my watches too, this pandemic is something else
You will own some great Omega watches soon.
1970 - my first Omega - a Speedmaster Professional Mk2. Lost in 1994.
1995 - my second Omega - a De Ville.
2001 - my third Omega - Seamaster 300 for my 50th. My De Ville to my son for his 25th.
Nothing but Omega.
I always like Omega since I was a kid. One of my grandpas most treasured watch was an Omega from 1930s. My brother has it. He took it to Omega factory in Switzerland and had it tuned, and replaced some none genuine Omega parts out in over the years.
One of my admired person, was a navy F18 pilot, and he wore a Seamaster. Then in 1990s, Pierce Brosnan wore one in Golden Eye; I finally bought my own first Bond Seamaster. Sine then I bought another, Ocean Planet 2014 Sochi Olympic Watch.
My wife also is a fan. I bought her a lady Seamaster to complement my Bond Watch. I also bought her a diamond lady matic Constellations, referred by Omega Sales as Cindy Crawford Watch.
Omega is special to us.
I bought my first Omega speedmaster moonwatch when I was 18 years old back in 2012 and yes I bought it with my own money, great great memory I'll never forget how excited I was
Massive gap in this article. Prince William was give an Omega Seamaster by his mother Diana and it is the only watch he wears. It will sit on the throne of England one day.
john rice that is a big one, well spotted
I walked into an omega store for the first time yesterday. amazing store. classic music playing just enough to hear It, I was greeted with a handshake and coffee or water, I was told about the history of omega, and even tried on a 40,000 dollar watch that I nearly pissed my pants wearing it cause its worth 2x my car.... cool experience tho. lmao.
Got 2 Omega watches - a Seamaster Professional (my daily wear which has lasted longer than my marriage) and a Speedmaster.
I have an Omega Speedmaster - Dark Side of the Moon. It's likely my most precious possession. The story and history of Omega resonated with me and drove my decision toward the Speedmaster.
DLK
I have seamaster. its been 10 yrs and really love it, because of the design of it. didn't even know it was james bond's watch.
My Omega Seamaster Professional is 20 yo...had it's first service done just 1year ago.
I have an Omega Speedmaster Profesional, which I bought brand new in 1970, and it has followed me ever since, it has been exposed to the most harsh trials, from - 32 degrees Celsius in the Alps, to + 50 degrees Celsius in Central Africa, and it has never failed me, it has now followed me faithfully for almost 48 years
Having recently added the 2018 Seamaster 300m to my collection I can attest to the thoughts now that this watch has taken the crown away from the Rolex Sub. Gorgeous to look at and a joy to behold when light glances across the new ceramic wave dial. Beautifully crafted from top to bottom and a lot less than the equivalent 116610 Submariner. Side by side the Omega wins hands down. The new calibre's 8800 and 8900 are stunning pieces of engineering which can now be fully appreciated with the addition to the Seamaster 300m of the Saphire display back which for me is a delight to be able to view and appreciate a great in-house movement built around the George Daniels designed Co-Axial escapement.
Omega is cooler than Rolex!
No doubt of that
There Old watch yes, don't know about the watches they make now days. I daily a speedmaster so i can say that ;D
how can you afford this watch?
Not resale wise.
Zhemin Lin they aren't that expensive compared to other watches
15 facts ? You could not even get the Year of Founding wright. That was 1848 guys.
Hahahaha I stopped watching the video at 0:44 when the narrator said omega was founded in..... 1903 !!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Good point. But the founding year is not one of the 15 facts. I hope all the “facts” are indeed facts. All are fascinating stories. All in all, Omega is the most storied watch in history.
@@chuan-kangshih78 I agree with you about the fact that the founding date is not part of the facts however it's a huge discredit to the video . I prefer listening to more knowledgeable people talking about timepieces with all due respect to this channel 😁👍
It's a good video overall but god that intro was irritating.
Yes, I own an Omega. I have the 2531.80 SMP. I chose it because I believe it represents the highest level of movement and beauty ever produced in a dive watch. Yes, I have actually used it as a dive watch!
DLK
Patek, Zenith & Omega. The names ooze class. Great styles
i will never buy a smart watch!!!
Funny thing, my Apple Watch is what sparked my interest in watches.
@@77714anthony talk about irony. I just bought an apple watch for my wife
I Own a OMEGA SEAMASTER octagonal dial wrist watch which i bought in Baghdad in 1984. It is an automatic watch.
Got my first Omega last week, an Omega Seamaster 300 GMT 50th Anniversary. Always loved Omega. You get so much for the money. Well worth it.
My father bought my Omega Seamaster in 2001 as a high school graduation gift and I’ve had it for 18 years now. I look forward to passing it on to one of my sons and also looking to get a Speedmaster also.
I’m lucky to have this Speedmaster Moonwatch last week-, love the simple elegance, functionality, versatility and history of this watch❤
I own three Omega Seamasters. 2254.60 in black, SMPc in blue and PO 8500 in black. No regrets my most prized possessions.
I used to own an Omega speed master profesional untill my Mother threw it away by accident. That was the worst day of my life. My mother literally threw away more than 2k down the trash
Why would he be lying about this. And why would he have watch insurance, 2000$ watch must mean it's a low end omega anyways. And what's the point of calling him an idiot?
Ahhh Bless your mother, she stopped you from becoming a show off. We all love our mother for their infinite wisdom. I used to own 13 volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica but had to burn them all, why... My mother knows everything so I simply ask her instead.
an old omega in good shape use to be way more than 2K

Thanks for the updz for 👍
Where is she buried?
Bought an Omega Flightmaster in 1977, new for $400. It was stolen several years later while I was in college. It was worth several thousand $ at that point. I went back to more affordable Seikos after that.
Should point out that Bond movies have featured many watch brands throughout the franchise but the original character in the novels favoured a Rolex submariner.
True, but since 1995's Goldeneye the Omega brand has been the official James Bond watch.
In 1995 Bond realized this mistake and corrected it. Never looked back since then.
Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow GMT has been on my wrist since March 2024. I feel bad for my other watches that I never got to wear anymore. Keeps time exceptionally well for an automatic with so much complications. I set the time to my cell phone on wearing it the first time. Till date not a second lost or gained. Simply incredible.
2010 Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, 600m 45.5mm. I have owned it for almost 8 years now and it is my favorite. It is chunky and heavy and it shows very nicely on my wrist.
My first watch was Rolex Daytona. But second and third were Omega Speedmaster moonwatch and Omega Seamaster 300 M. I love omega for history (speedmaster) and solid watches (seamaster).
Aquired my Omega Seamaster 300 this February 2017. It's my Bond watch I have always wanted. It was manufactured in 1998. Thank you for a grand video and history lesson!
I own a Omega Seamaster 300 with a blue dial...Got inspired to buy a Omega after seeing the Goldeneye movie
On my 60th Birthday I got an Omega Quartz seamaster👍
Omega Seamaster is my next watch I am getting. Trying to decide if I want the Titanium or Stainless case.
I have inherited a 1954 solid gold Omega with a 266 handwinding movement. Keeps perfect time. Looks classy. Thanks for the Video. I want a Speedy one day.
My other dress watch is an Orient Bambino Blue V4.
My daily tool beater is a Vostok Amphibia black scuba dude.
cool to see my omega Globemaster annual calendar is featured in multiple scenes throughout this video 😀
1994 Seamaster 200m 36mm pre-Bond stainless with gold bezel and crown. Hundreds of dives and every day wear for 20 years. It has taken a serious beating but the gold accent gives that sparkle back. Just a great watch for work, and dress.
I was going to tell you guys to do this video yesterday. I am happy Y'all did it.
I have an Omega Speedmaster MKII. It is now 45 years old (got it for my 21st) and it is still going on strong and accurate with no problems.
My Omega Seamaster has been my most reliable watch so far...I also have a Seamaster chronograph...top watches...
Finally someone that pronounces Omega correctly. Thank you Alux!! Could you also please do Audemars Piguet and Ulysse Nardin?
Just took receipt of my omega speedmaster moon watch yesterday superb iconic brand!
Just picked up a vintage Genève. Gotta love the watch! My next one is an Aqua Terra 😉
Kyle Adler the Geneve is lovely! Was it hard to find?
I have a Seamaster 300m. Love it !
May I suggest a video about Vertu cell phones... It would be nice.
My dad has a Seamaster 300m, he bought it new in 2003 and he hasn’t bought another watch since then, it still runs smooth and it’s in top condition, who would’ve known that such a “cheap” watch compared to other brands would end up being a really nice piece!
I owned 5 in total, my first omega was a constellation quartz mid 80’d the one with the square case, my second was a seamaster, third is a mid 60’s deville, and the most recent ones are a quartz constellation with gold plated bracelet, and the one I bought this week is a mid 60’s constellation automatic
i have the constellation pie pan and why i love omega (especially the vintage omega) is because the models are timeless.
The first picture as a part of No. 5 "The Most Expensive Omega Watch", is actually that of a Rolex GMT Master II " Ice" and not of the Omega Constellation Baguette
Again for number 7. the picture of Gorbachev's favourite constellation is incorrect. The picture shown is actually of an older generation Omega Constellation.
I just bought an Omega SeaMaster yesterday because I believe it’s the best built watch on the planet and one of the most Iconic outside the SubMariner
I myself have a Seamaster 120M with the silver wave dial. Absolutely gorgeous. My pride and joy.
Purchased an Omega Seamaster Professional Chronograph, in the early months of 2000, when my daughter was born. Still have it today and it keeps great time.
Welcome to wannabes channel.
kochumay no the wish I was rich channel
States kochumay who is into third rate Glocks
the way she pronounces Omega tells me exactly this
Like you kochumay, like you
Omega is not unobtainable on a middle class income. They are middle range luxury along with Rolex.
Hi Aluxers, i love of this video compilation,can someone help me with where to get this footage for this videos
Omega Speedmaster. Happily ticking since 25 years.
I have an omega speedmaster professional moonwatch I purchased it mainly because of its iconic association with Apollo 11 I also have the Bulova back up moon watch ( Quartz ) this is also really nice but the omega is much nicer.
Have had an Omega Geneva for 35 years still going strong
at 4:17 is a rolex. either a sub or gmt...
J Li I think that's the GMT Beyoncé bought Jay Z
Yeah, it's a GMT
If you want to learn about Omega this is not a good video.👎👎
Agreed that is a Rolex. I think the Omega looks better, but I would not be caught dead wearing either. People that buy these hideous monstrosities should be publicly ousted or should just wear a g-shock. Same tacky-ness, but cheaper.
@@Todd.T fuck off. G-shock are great. Dummy
Omega is the only watch I can afford out of all the watch alux reviewed.Hands down one of the best..
I just bought my husband Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Chronograph 41.5MM. I was doing so much research between Rolex Submariner Oyster 40MM and Omega Seamaster Diver. I love buying things relating to its value per price. I don’t like comparing which brand is superior or what not. Different watches have different qualities. And there is a fit for everyone at all price ranges. The reason I went for Seamaster other than Submariner for my husband is that he is still young in his late 20s. He is quite active guy and he likes to wear the same thing every single day. He is a carefree guy. We both are believers in you buy things to use them not to baby them. So biggest concern was scratch resistance. In the past Omega didn’t have dual sided AR coating. So I would’ve gone with the Submariner. Now it isn’t the case. Another one was aesthetics. This is all subjective. Personally I love the older Seamaster model where it had the beautiful ripples on the back! Gorgeous! But again, the newer model is still sick! Personal preference but I love that red that goes with black. Something about Submariner was a bit too plain for me. I am hoping in the future to get him Rolex Cosmograph Daytona Oyster Platinum Ice Blue Dial. I say future because I don’t know about you guys..but where I live there is a wait list on this.....my husband’s favorite color is that ice blue and I think he would just love that! Let me know if there are any watch enthusiasts out there what you guys are doing to get closer to the waitlist!
Hey, you forgot to add this very important trivia: The Omega Marine was the first dive watch, the first watch specifically tested and qualified for diving in 1932.
I do have OMEGA watch SM300 with sedna gold and am saving for the 44mm chronograph gold and black. Omega just gives u more for ur money.
I own 8 Omega watches, Including the Omega Seamaster my father got from my grandfather when I was born. My daily watch is an seamaster gmt 50 year edition.
Great video! Please can you do a video on Audemars Piguet watches!? They are awesome!! Thanks
please can you do a brand video on Armani including the sub brands of them too like Emporio Armani and Georgio Armani and Armani Jeans
#12. Correction: daniel craig is a fan of the Omega Seamaster 300 Professional. (No such thing as a Speedmaster Professional 300)
Though i dnt hav it YET.... bt someday i will....
In lov wit an omega for a long long time.... N the inspiration is from the spy himself... bond, james bond
U guys are definitely stepping up your game! u guys rock!
This video is riddled with errors.
Yeah I noticed one, Actor Jack Lemmon is mentioned but it’s actually a image of James Garner.
I have 3 Rolexes and in the market for a Seamaster dive 300m in 28mm. Since the Rolex sub is too big for my wrist, I will be getting the Omega. I'm a diver and I will use the watch as my alternate diving tool. thanks for the cool video. OH! I used to own the Constellation (20 years ago), had a break in, forgot to put it in the safe when we went camping.
My Omega Seamaster is from 1954, originally bought by my grandfather. I am most into vintage Omega watches before 1990
Some mistakes in the video. It's Wally Schirra but not Walter Schirra. And James Bond wore Seamasters. Not Speedmaster.
Very nice channel (can you make a video on breitling )
I had a omega but now have a Rolex sub no date ceramic and now I definitely don't miss my omega!! 😀
I have a omega seamster 600 for my 21st birthday that was back in 1967 and i still have it and ware it. great watch
You didn't mention that on the apollo 15 mission, astronaut David Scott's speedmaster's crystal popped off. He had to use his back up watch which was the Bulova Moon watch.
I have an omega DeVille 1336 quartz and I searched it over on the internet but can't find any information about that exact model can anyone shed any light on it
Thanks
I own an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Good Planet, which I purchased in March, 2017. I purchased it because of its excellent quality and because it has a superb movement.
I'm very impressed, love at first sight Omega ladies watch at Dubai Duty Free Last 2008, Christmas present for myself.
I have an 1969 Omega Sea Dweller that was handed down to me from my Grandfather and my Dad. It's one of my most favorite memento's.
I've seen Ringo in concert recently... "was" is not a word for him, because he is VERY MUCH still alive.
My grandfather left me his old omega watch 18 years ago when he passed i know nothing about it where would i be able to find out any help would be good thanks
lol first thing she say is wrong not a good start, Omega was founded in 1848 just Google it is that simple
La Generale Watch Co, was founded in 1848[5]
by Louis Brandt. By 1903 the success of
the Omega brand led to La Generale Watch Co to spin off the Omega brand
as its own company, and the Omega Watch Co was officially founded in
1903.
I do. A de Ville and and Speedy. It was the space exploration that decided it for me. And the ones I chose have a tactful style I think.
I am a professional diver and own two planet ocean sea master professionals. And unlike others for show- I use them for what they are intended. Many dives only flooded one. Company completely replaced. Tough watches and very beautiful!
Few days ago it was my 18 birthday and my parents bought me Omega watch, we are middle working class and I didn’t excepted that. I am so great full and happy for Omega and not Rolex.
thats james gardner not Jack Lemon.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
thank God...
i have been waiting for this video for a long time...
but after they released the Rolex video i couldn't wait no more....
thank you very much ALUX for making this wonderful video.....👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
We're so happy you liked it!
I celebrated my 16th birthday in Rome on 20 July 1969. That event signaled to me that I would be a world traveler (I hoped at the time that I could have been a space traveler). I have lived the last 5 years in Paris and will be retiring to Antibes to live with my wife. To celebrate my 65th birthday, I bought an Omega Seamaster Professional, even though I have a nice set of Rolexes, including an 18k Rolex Yachtmaster, because of what is written on the back of the watch, “FLIGHT-QUALIFIED BY NASA FOR ALL MANNED SPACE MISSIONS:THE FIRST WATCH WORN ON THE MOON-PROFESSIONAL MOONWATCH.” I feel lucky to have lived these last 48 years and lucky to have the first watch on the moon. I am still hoping to wear my MOON WATCH into space, maybe for the 50th anniversary of the first moon walk on 20 July 2019!
My grad just passed on his Omega Seamaster from the early 70s to me
I have omega constellation sins 2014 And its Accuracy is super ❤
Seamaster for almost 2 decade! Looks great, functional and durable that looks pretty much the same brand new!
Interesting, and here I thought the king of complications was the minute repeater. Seeing as how less than ten watch brands know how to build one and perpetual calendars can be found in watches for less than $10k. Whereas a minute repeater is rarely found in a watch less than $100k
question regarding the Seamaster Aqua Terra Golf:
how much water-resistant is it actually, maybe up to 5 meters w/o problems ?
Do not need more than max 10 meter.
How about some shock resistance, ok to do MTB with it and outdoors ?
Great model but maybe the
300 meter depth model is better ?

The very first shot of the diamond encrusted watch was a Rolex. Then the omega was shown. Lol
My first real luxury watch was a Speedmaster Professional! Love it!
The last letter of the Greek alphabet and the first name in quality in watches.
Finally! Omega!!! Thanks! 😄👍👍👍
Good knowing about Omega wristband watches ...just in case I found one at any shore land ...
