Whether you own a luxury watch or not, you have probably wondered at least once, "Which model is popular?" While everyone has their own motivations, such as "I want a popular classic model!" or "I want a model that no one else has!" , it is difficult to know which models are actually popular unless you get real-time information.

So this time, we will be revealing the top 5 OMEGA models that we have handled at Commit Ginza (hereafter referred to as our store) in the past year! Please enjoy reading this article while imagining the rankings with us.

5th place: "Speedmaster Tokyo 2020" "Ref. 522.30.42.30.03.001"

In fifth place is the Speedmaster Tokyo 2020 (Ref. 522.30.42.30.03.001), a limited edition model of 2,020 pieces released to commemorate the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The combination of a sun-brushed blue dial, a bezel of the same color, and 18KWG (white gold) indexes gives this watch a sporty yet luxurious feel, and the case back is engraved with the symbol of the Tokyo Olympics, making it a special limited edition model. In addition to blue, the watch is available in five colors, including yellow, black, green, and red, in imitation of the Olympic symbol, so you can choose your favorite color based on ease of use, or collect all the colors as part of a collection. This is a model full of fun.

4th place: "Speedmaster Chronograph CK2998" "Ref.311.32.40.30.02.001 "

In fourth place is the Speedmaster Chronograph CK2998 "Ref. 311.32.40.30.02.001", which was released in 2018 as a limited edition of 2,998 pieces worldwide.

It started with the "Ref. 2915" which was originally released in 1957 for motorsports, and two years later in 1959, the first "CK2998" was born as a model closely related to space. The model we are introducing this time was created as a homage to that first model, and has a sporty design with a black and white dial and a red chronograph hand as an accent color. The case is a good size of 39.7mm and is equipped with the hand-wound movement "Cal. 1861", which is also known as a masterpiece, making it not only a cool design but also a highly functional watch.

3rd Place
"Speedmaster '57 Chronograph 38.6MM" "Ref.311.10.39.30.01.001 "

In third place is the Speedmaster '57 Chronograph 36.8MM (Ref. 311.10.39.30.01.001), a limited edition model of 3,557 pieces worldwide, which was released in 2017 as a reproduction of the first Speedmaster model that appeared in 1957.

This model features a 38.6mm case without a crown guard, a dial that looks like it has aged over time, known as a "black tropical dial," and "broad arrow" hands, giving it a vintage feel. The movement is a manual winding "Cal.1861," and the back is engraved with a "seahorse," a sea creature that symbolizes high water resistance . Omega vintage watches are often traded at high prices, so if you're looking to get your hands on one but find it difficult, why not choose this reissue model?

2nd Place
"Seamaster 300 Specter" "Ref.233.32.41.21.01.001 "

In second place is the Seamaster 300 "Ref. 233.32.41.21.01.001," a military watch limited to 7,007 pieces worldwide, which was the first watch worn by James Bond in the "007" film series.

The black ceramic bezel made of liquid metal does not have the military-specific " 12" marking, and the back cover is engraved with a serial number indicating the limited number and the "0 07" logo. The center second hand is equipped with a so-called "lollipop" hand, named for its rounded tip that looks like a candy bar, giving it a somewhat vintage feel. In addition to the high rarity that comes with being a limited edition model, the stylish design makes this a watch that goes well with casual styles.

1st Place
"Speedmaster Caliber 321 Chronograph 39.7MM" "Ref.311.30.40.30.01.001 "

Taking the honorable first place is the reproduction model "Speedmaster Caliber 321" "Ref. 311.30.40.30.01.001", which is equipped with the famous "Cal. 321" movement.

This watch, which follows the design of the third model of the Speedmaster, which became famous when it was worn by "Ed White" during the first American spacewalk in 1965, features a white enamel tachymeter scale, a polished black ceramic bezel, and a black dial. Incidentally, it is also the first Speedmaster model equipped with the "Cal.321" to feature a see-through back. Although it seems that not many are being supplied to the secondary market, the market price has calmed down a bit compared to the period when prices were soaring, so if you've been eyeing one, now might be your chance.

summary

What did you think.

Many limited edition models made the list, but most of them were models that followed the designs of the past, but updated their functions and performance to meet modern standards. This means that the Omega watches sold in the past were highly refined, and I think they will continue to be so in the future. And the closer they are to the original, the more likely they are to become popular and the more rare they will become. For this reason, it might be a good idea to keep an eye on Omega watches now.

In any case, the best way to see a luxury watch is to see it in person. If you are in the area, please stop by Commit Ginza.
