Is Omega quality as good as Rolex?

1 Answer
Is Omega quality as good as Rolex?
Yes, Omega is as good of quality as Rolex. These two luxury watch brands are universally heralded for all the distinctive timepieces they’ve brought to market. Rolex's enviable worldwide recognition can be credited to its commitment to precision and an unflagging pursuit of innovation. Over its more than 100-year history, Rolex has introduced many innovative timepieces, including the first truly waterproof watch, the Oyster. It’s a celebrated part of Omega lore that the brand’s Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch to make a lunar landing. Omega prioritizes quality and durability, creating watches that keep precise time even in the worst of conditions. 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.
