Thread: What would you recommend, I fancy an Omega quartz.

  1. #1

    What would you recommend, I fancy an Omega quartz.

    Styles I like.

    Diver Types.

    Chronos.

    I don't mind a bit of bling such has two tone.

    Basically style wise pretty open if I like it.

    I don't mind busy, not keen on boring.

    Size not overly important.

    Usually prefer a bracelet but...........

    Don't want to break or even put a oversize dent in the bank :)

    The obvious choices are the Seamaster Bond 300m (2541.80.00) or the Aqua Terra quartz (231.10.39.60.06.001).

    Both awesome, both should be findable for around £2,000 ish.

    How about a 2264.50, this is my only quartz watch and something I wear regularly as a grab and go no fuss watch. These can be had for less than £2k.

    The electric blue 2265 is another good choice and if you can find one seem to run slightly cheaper than the black 2264.

    There’s a few interesting 120m pre bond seamasters around though they are all a little smaller, they may be the cheapest option.

    Maybe a Polaris of some description for a left field choice 😎

    My choice would be the 2541.80 “Goldeneye” quartz. It’s an absolute classic and I just love it.



    Cheers

    That was a good find!

    The steel bezel really lifts it for me, somehow. I do like a steel bezel.

    That would be my choice as well.

    It's my everyday wearer and was purchased for me by my wife for £595 after discount new.

    Omega Seamaster 120m multifunction?

    Two time zones, a chrono, and an alarm

    Does it have to be Omega?

    I feel like the Breitling Aerospace Evo takes some beating in this sort of category. Not as blingy as most Breitlings either which is a plus in my book.

    I suppose not because today I weakened :) I have a couple of Red Arrow and Blue Angel Citizens and today while looking in H.Samuels I saw this Ltd Edition Red Arrow (JY8126-51E) I had looked at it over the last few weeks, £695 but with Black Friday discount of 30% so £486.05, bargain (IMO) just got to set it up now.
