Is Omega higher quality than Rolex?

1 Answer
Is Omega higher quality than Rolex?
No, Omega is not of higher quality than Rolex. These two luxury watch brands are universally heralded for all the distinctive timepieces they’ve brought to market. Rolex brings more than 100 years of history to watchmaking and is widely recognized for its commitment to precision and an unflagging pursuit of innovation. Omega watches are equally renowned for their precise, reliable performance, which has made its watches the timepieces of choice for the British military and NASA. When shopping for a watch, you should think about what you’re looking for in this type of accessory. You may wish to consider the power reserve, materials, accuracy, craftsmanship, where it was manufactured and more. If it’s your first watch, you may wish to consider whether or not you’d prefer a pre-owned model. Buying a new, never-worn watch enables you to build a history with it that isn’t shared by anyone else, but the greatest advantage to buying a pre-owned watch is that it opens up a wider range of models to consider, including rare ones that have been discontinued.
