I’ve never been a huge Omega guy.
To me, Omega watches are the horological equivalent of Porsche: solid, well-engineered, respected but not quite top-tier.
If you’re someone who says, “Porsche is great value for the money,” you’re probably also someone who wears an Omega.
And that’s fine.
But let’s call it what it is:
🔸 Porsche is what people buy when they can’t afford a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
🔸 Omega is what people buy when they can’t afford a Rolex or don’t want to admit they actually want one.
Now, that doesn’t mean Omega doesn’t have a place in the journey.
There’s real value in starting with Omega especially in the James Bond series. It’s an accessible entry point into the world of Swiss watches with brand history, solid design, and recognizability.
But here’s the key: don’t get stuck there.
Use it as a springboard. Grow your collection, refine your taste, and start moving up the ladder.
▶️ From Omega → into Panerai, Hublot, and beyond.
▶️ Build your understanding of complications, materials, and finishing.
▶️ Expand your perspective on what luxury horology really is.
Omega’s not the end goal. It’s just a step in the journey.
