OMEGA is one of the more fun watches to collect. We are big OMEGA watch fans, and we see a lot of OMEGA watches for watch repair here in New York City. Of course, among the most famous OMEGA watches is the OMEGA Moon watch. Priced at around $6,000 new, it’s not exactly cheap but it is an entry-level watch for many New Yorkers. We do see quite a few “vintage” OMEGA watches as well, that is, watches that have been inherited or passed down across generations. Or, folks buy vintage OMEGA watches and bring them in for inspection, tune-up, and repairs as needed.
If you’re new to luxury watches, we have a few tips for you. First, check out WatchTime. It’s the main blog on everything watch, and we read it religiously. We read a recent article on 5 “affordable” OMEGA watches for those new to watches. Here are the watches that they list as affordable “starter” watches for folks interested in the OMEGA brand –
- OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional
- OMEGA Constellation Co-Axial
- OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Co-Axial
- OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 M Master Chronometer
- OMEGA De Ville Prestige
It’s a wonderful list of some of the best starter watches from the OMEGA brand. The article summarizes some of the history of each watch, and gives basic pricing information. As an additional tip, if you’re looking to buy an OMEGA watch, or have already purchased one, bring it into Ron for an inspection, tune-up, and repairs (if needed). In fact, with a spend at several thousand dollars, many smart New Yorkers arrange for Ron to inspect the watch BEFORE purchase at a reasonable fee. In this way, you know what you’re getting into.
