Watch Almanac

The best Omega watches

Omega's lineup comes down to two icons, the Speedmaster and the Seamaster, plus the Constellation and De Ville for dress. Most current Omegas are Master Chronometers, tested for accuracy and resistance to strong magnetic fields.

Some Omegas wear large for their size, with long lugs, so check the lug-to-lug before you buy.

How we picked

We considered every current Omega in the almanac, picking the defining model of each line plus sizes that suit smaller wrists. “Fits” is the range of wrist sizes where the watch grades as an ideal fit on our lug-to-lug model. Prices are US retail and change often.
