Owner review: I sold my Moonwatch

I wrote this review, sold the watch, and only then actually hit submit on this review. I felt it necessary to start with this disclaimer because I didn’t want this essay to be thought of as an ad for my decidedly pedestrian Omega Speedmaster Professional. I have already moved it, and I’m satisfied with what…

Owner review: Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional

The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional is a legend, an icon, and one of the greatest watches of all time. The reason I was so enamored with the Speedmaster was because, as a kid, I was seeing the watch in the local Omega AD and learning about the whole history and the “first watch worn on…

Owner review: Omega Seamaster Professional 300m

Long before I was a degenerate watch collector I relished in hanging out with my friends after school. This was the late 90’s and as such our after school activities, before being shuffled off to our respective houses meant doing one thing, playing the Nintendo 64. Two games stood head and shoulders above the rest…

Owner review: Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 321

The thought that every watch enthusiast should experience a Speedmaster ignited my quest for the “perfect Speedy.” The countless hours spent researching and obsessing over minute details such as long indices, applied logos, and symmetrical cases shortlisted my options to a “pre-professional” Speedmaster. Unfortunately, the anxiety of venturing into murky vintage waters was enough to…

Owner review: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer

From the first time I laid eyes on the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer 150M Co-Axial Master Chronometer GMT and tried it on, I knew that I had to get it sooner or later. The stunning dial caught my attention and it is definitely the star of the show. There is the laser-ablated grade 5…

Owner review: Omega Seamaster 2635-6

Omega is a brand that needs an introduction as badly as Elvis Presley did going on stage. That being said, not many know about the early roots of Omega’s longest produced line. Today, here I present to you a 1950 Omega Seamaster 2635-6 unbranded. Unbranded? Huh? Yes some Seamasters didn’t have the word printed back…

Owner review: Omega Constellation Pie Pan 168.005

The Omega Constellation is a watch that has been around for decades and comes in hundreds of variations. However, there is one version that defined what some would call the most stylish generation: The Omega Constellation Pie Pan 168.005. Seen on the wrists of icons like Elvis Pressley and Al Pacino in “The Godfather”, the…

Owner review: Omega Seamaster 300 America’s Cup Chronograph

The Omega Seamaster line never interested me until the release of this Omega Seamaster 300 America’s Cup Chronograph edition. This model had me surprised with a lot of firsts from Omega; from the one-click quick bracelet/strap change to the chrono-lock function. But what really got me is that red count-down ring that features an hour…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award”

So here I am with another Fifth Wrist Review. It’s been a while since my last one, and frankly I don’t remember what my last review was on. Not that it matters, because I’m back today to review the Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award” 50th Anniversary. I wont go into the technical specs of the…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Mark II

The vintage Omega Speedmaster Mark II has been reviewed on fifth wrist before but I’d like to tell this story as it is one of the many reasons I am interested in the hobby. My father purchased this watch in 1970 when he worked as a clerk and interpreter at the Diyarbakir air station (USAF)…
