Founded in 1848, Omega is known to be responsible for the co-axial escapement as well as the Master Chronometer program. Omega also made history being ‘the first watch on the moon‘ back in 1969 when Buzz Aldrin stepped on the lunar surface wearing the Omega Speedmaster Professional.

Over the many years, this Swiss watchmaker’s esteemed catalog has certainly grown. But which models do people love the most? And of course, which is the best at holding their resale value?

Omega Speedmaster Professional

Omega Speedmaster or nicked name ‘Moonwatch’ is known for its precision, endurance, and outstanding framework. This watch has an obvious reason to be among the top favorites. The Speedmaster remains to be a favorite timepiece approved by NASA for spaceflight. It is also the only watch qualified for EVA (extravehicular activity). 

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra

Designed to balance between everyday wear and an elegant dress watch, the Aqua Terra is the perfect choice for those people looking for one watch for all occasions. Its elegant feel and rugged durability even earned its rights to be featured in a few James Bond movies, so much so that Omega dedicated several special-edition Aqua Terra models to the beloved spy movie (like the one shown above).

Omega Constellation

First launched in the 50s, the Constellation was loved by many due to its intricate mechanical core. It’s an iconic representation of the Geneva Observatory under a field of stars is embossed on the back case. However, it’s not just for decoration though. Dealers use the logo to determine the wear of the watch and to make sure it hasn’t been over-polished. If the stars aren’t worn down, the watch is likely to be in very good condition.

Oh and did we mention, they had the stunning Cindy Crawford as the campaign ambassador? Yeah… 🙂

Whichever Omega collection you choose, wearing one means you’re taking part in a time-honored tradition of appreciating upscale elegance and sophisticated design.
