Omega Speedmaster

Omega watches prove to be a great investment. In fact, some vintage Speedmaster models have increased in value since their release. For example, the Omega Seamaster 300M Chronometer ref. 2531.80 has a market average value of S$3,849. It currently sells at S$2,966 at retail price.

Limited editions are popular among collectors. That said, they are more likely to appreciate in value. For example, the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch "Speedy Tuesday" ref. 31132423001001 now costs between S$17,500 and S$20,000, which is significantly higher than its original list price of S$8,967.

Omega, the world's leading watch manufacturer, is defined by its original pioneering spirit. Their extensive selection contains a number of iconic models – each creating historic achievements. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular Omega watches.

• Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch: The Omega Speedmaster is the most recognized and loved watch model. Famously worn by the astronaut Buzz Aldrin on the first manned lunar landing in 1969, the Omega Speedmaster became the first watch worn in space. This model is made of stainless steel and comes with a black dial, hesalite crystal lens, and a black bezel with a tachymetric scale.
• Omega Seamaster Diver 300M: The Seamaster collection is stylistically diverse and the longest-running product line of Omega. This model made its debut on the silver screen as seen on the wrist of Pierce Brosnan. A steel-cased, blue bezel/dial model, the Seamaster Diver 300m is the closest to James Bond’s original Omega of choice.
• Omega Constellation Globemaster:Released in 1952, this watch model marks the 100th anniversary of the brand’s beginnings. Most Constellation models are recognized by their “Griffes” or claws at 3 and 9 o’clock and the star symbol at 6 o’clock.

You can find a pristine, pre-owned Omega Seamaster Pre Bond at less than S$1,300 market value. If you prefer one of Omega's flagship models, such as the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, be prepared to pay around S$8,000 to S$10,000. 

Prices quickly start to climb if you're looking for highly coveted Omega watch models. For example, the Omega Speedmaster Professional "Silver Snoopy Award" ref. 310.32.42.50.02.001 is priced at more than S$43,000. This timepiece commemorates the harrowing mission of Apollo 13 and the award given to Omega for their contribution.
