Since the forum is growing so much and we have such a diverse group I wanted to put forth the question, which Omega line is your favorite and why? For me it is a tough choice between the Speedy and Seamster. the speedy is the most classic, one the best chrono movements available, perfect dimensions. But the SMP is the best looking, most versatile, waterproof, best lume, and also very classic. So for me its the Seamaster line, this could change later, but for now I am going SMP Whats your vote??

Great question Adam,and untill recently I would have also said the SMP. But,I went with the Planet Ocean. It just does everything so right for me. Love the co-axial movement ,the size(42mm for me) hands and markers are so easy to read. Simply great lume(as with all SMPs). I find the crown to be the best and easiest to use,and it's simply beautiful!!

I am not sure that I have a favorite "line" within the Omega brand. My "dream" is to own one watch from each of the "master" collections.
Seamaster, Speedmaster, Railmaster, Flightmaster.

I don't know whether to vote Seamaster Professional or Planet Ocean. Technically the Planet Ocean is a Seamaster Professional....in that case, the choice is easy. I think Omega did an awesome job with the PO. From the co-ax movement to the coin bezel. I can't think of anything I'd rather see different. On the other hand, there are so many classic variations in the Seamaster Pro line. Bond, 2254.50, America's Cup Chrono, etc. Tough choice, but I have to vote PO. It's my favorite Omega right now and it's not considered a SMP in the poll.

For me it is the speedmaster line.. followed by a very close second by the aqua terra line. The speedy pro is one of the icons of the 20th century.. need i say more?

I agree with mamas about the Speedmaster. The Pro has gone unchanged, except for movement, for years. Can't say that about any of the other ones, as far as I know. It's the watch Omega really hung their hat on.

This is a really hard decision....I think there is one watch in each voting group that I would like to have. Omega makes some great watches with great variety.

I agree, that is why I love Omega so much, they have so many collections and so many variations in the collections. There are so many that I would love to have. If I could have any two watches right now 1 would be a 3570.50 and the other the AT.

Seamaster, Speedmaster, Railmaster, Flightmaster. That's how it starts ! Then you realize that there are 3 flightmasters ( if you include the gold version ) & hundreds of speedmasters... Then you "just" need one of each... My favourite Omega Watch ? 911 flightmaster. I just sent to to Bienne yesterday. My Xmas present to myself this year.
