Ive recently decided to get myself Omega watch recently, even though Ive been after a new Rolex Sub for while. Just been looking into collectible omegas, including, speedmaster, seamaster (007 spec), constellation piepan, moonphase etc etc.

Just curious… what would be in your top 5 collectible omega watches / models with reasons..

The reasons would fill a page, but here are a few. Not necessarily in any particular order.

1. Speedmaster Moonwatch, 321 cal.
2. Seamaster 300
3. Piepan Constellation
4. Gold cased Deville's from the 60's.
5. Bumper autos from the 50's.

For the 300, I think you have three choices: If you want vintage, either the CK2913 (the original 1957 model, on which the new 2014 reissue was based - a true grail watch if you can find one that is remotely affordable); or the more commonly seen 165.024 from the mid-'60s. The third option would be to get one of the new reissue models. It's one of Omega's most popular pieces, and the technical features are state of the art. I think it will remain a very popular watch for a long time to come.

1- Speedmaster cal 321, CK 2915, ST 105003, 105012; Holy Grail Speedmaster 376.0822, etc.
2- Ploprof 600 MKI 166077.
3- Constellation Pie-Pan.
4- Chronostop.
5- Memomatic.

Sorry but IMHO no modern Omega is collectible, no matter how limited.
