Check out the list below for some of the most affordable watches Omega has to offer
1) De Ville Prestige Blue Dial Watch
Timelessness and class come together to produce this beautiful yet plain timepiece, which retails for about $2,400. The band and casing are made of stainless steel, and the dial is a beautiful deep blue that pairs well with any outfit for any occasion. The hands are silver, dauphine-style, with index hour markers, making the De Ville Prestige one of the brand's relatively cheaper alternatives.
2) Constellation Co-Axial Bronze Dial Watch
This atypical timepiece stands out for its ochre-yellow dial, entrapped within a silver stainless steel case and bracelet. Set against the dial itself are two silver dauphine-style hands and index hour markers. The watch also comes with the brand's well-known Co-Axial movement technology, all for about $3,000. This piece may work well for those who want a little bit of both- conventionalism and eccentricity.
3) Railmaster Automatic Blue Jeans Dial Watch
Unlike its predecessor on this list, this one embodies eccentricity, plain and simple. This watch has its typical stainless steel casing and an atypical, blue fabric, denim-looking NATO strap. The dial resembles a pair of blue jeans, which hosts some silver hands and index hour markers. The watch retails for about $3,000, offering customers something more... out of the blue, pun intended.
4) Seamaster Railmaster Automatic Men's Watch
This is yet another standout piece from the brand's more affordable options. This model stands out because of the typical stainless steel casing and bracelet and the black dial, which looks like it has been brushed up. Sleek, glow-in-the-dark silver hands and index hour markers complement the dial and casing. Per usual, the brand did not skimp on intricate detailing, as evidenced by this piece. This piece retails for just about $3,200.
5) Speedmaster Racing Automatic Chronograph Watch
The Omega Speedmaster Racing Automatic Chronograph Watch may not be as simple as it looks; it has the classic stainless steel casing and bracelet, some black hands, index hour markers, and three sub-dials. What sets this humble, Swiss-made piece apart is that while it may be a whopping $3,500, it seems sophisticated, elegant, and not too showy.
6) Seamaster Automatic Grey Dial Watch
This unique watch retails for about $4,000, attributed to the intricate detailing and craftsmanship that went into its making. The watch pairs a beautiful sea blue rubber strap, with a uni-directional rotating stainless steel bezel that has a blue ceramic top ring. The dial beneath it is grey and has abstract blue hands and dot hour markers.
7) Seamaster Aqua Terra Co-Axial Chronometer Watch
Like its predecessor on this list, this watch also retails for about $4,000. The standard stainless steel case is complimented by its luxury-feel blue alligator leather strap. The dial is another shade of blue to break the look apart while maintaining the colorway's flow. It features rhodium-plated arrow-shaped hands along with index hour markers.
And there you have it. These are some of our classic, timeless pieces that will fit your wardrobe well without costing an arm and a leg.
