Overview & history

Founded in 1848, Omega is among the most respected Swiss watch brands, known for the Speedmaster (worn on the moon), the Seamaster diver, and the Constellation. Both vintage and modern Omegas are actively collected, with value driven by the model and reference, originality (dial, hands, movement), condition, and the presence of box and papers. Rare references, early Speedmasters, and unusual dials command the strongest prices, while many everyday models remain accessible.

Identifying & marks

Identify the model by the reference and serial numbers (caseback and between the lugs), the caliber/movement, and dial signatures. Originality matters enormously and counterfeits exist - our specialists verify authenticity and originality.
