    What do you regard as the best looking Omega ever?

    My vote would be the First Omega in Space

    Probably a pie-pan Constellation from the 60's. Utterly gorgeous, and I'm determined to own a good example one day!

    a version of a vintage Seamaster 300 would get my vote - but they have shot up in price in the last 10 years



    The Seamaster 120 Baby Ploprof is an attractive watch, especially on mesh - feel really good on the wrist

    mine's a Watchco build, so NOS case, face, hands etc., with the movement from an older Omega

    There's a few nice ones on the usual watch sites - gold filled, (which I really like) - around £1,500

    OFF: the one I can afford
    ON: Omega Marine I find it both fascinating and a great looking, way ahead of its time

    I am a fan of the Speedmaster in its standard form
    An almost perfect blend of function and form
    I think the best looker is the SM300 big triangle no date but all early SM300 great looking watches

    I like the recent Speedmaster co-axial moonphase with the footprint on the moon.

    Or Snoopy if you like a dog on the dial...

    They have made a number of watches I really like. My favourites in categories are:

    Divers. SMP 300 in black, (2264, I think)

    Chrono. Speedy Pro, hesalite crystal

    Everyday type. First iteration of Aqua Terra or its predecessor Seamaster 120M 36mm size

    Dress. 1960s Constellation

    Also have a softspot for the last version of the Dynamic although the bracelet was a real hair puller!

    Too many good looking watches.

    These days they are far too thick though e.g gsotm

    If they re-issued the Polaris in 40mm, I’d be front of the queue.

    This one is quite tasty. Or else the ploprof - beauty in the eye of the beholder.

    As far as Seamasters go, the 2254 is nice, but there's no way it's as nice as the 2201...

    I had one in 2004 (or at least that was the date of that photo). Lovely thing.

    I'm with the OP on this, I think the Speedy pro is a very good looking tool watch but the FOIS is a very pretty watch.

    There's an unworn one from 2002 on Chrono24 from a German seller for 3k

    176.004 would be my choice

    Probably one or other of their central tourbillon watches. I don't have any pix, but here's a couple of links :-

    Second this. Had both and stupidly moved both on. The face and legibility of the PO takes some beating.
