NEW VIDEO ALERT: Designing my Perfect OMEGA Watches: Seamaster, Aqua Terra, De Ville
Added 2025-03-15 17:31:09 +0000 UTCITS HERE! Patron exclusive early access time!
This is basically just me talking through my favourite watches in the OMEGA catalogue and my least favourite watches and how I’d change things if I was in charge of OMEGA. 😅🤣 now. I’d like everyone to remember: omega hires actual designers and people who know what they are doing 🤣 not random dumb dumb YouTubers!
For me, I always love omega in theory. But there will be a small problem, that is just big enough that prevents me from buying! 😅 as always: THIS IS SUBJECTIVR AS! 🤣
And I’d love to hear YOUR thoughts!
You guys are amazing! I hope you’re h having such a great weekend! Things have been so tricky with George this week. He’s teething something awful at the moment. Very rosy cheeks, very sensitive, lots of tears! But it must be so painful and tough for him. Baby’s are hard work man! 😅 but totally worth it!
Sending you all our love from Gringa HQ

5½" wrist on a man checking in... I watched your videos and became a Pope Tier patron because I have a smaller wrist and can identify with many of your struggles, not to mention you are entertaining and Canadian. 😉 Omega is a cherished brand in the watch world. I understand its heritage and the quality of its craftsmanship. Truth be known, in a head-to-head match with Rolex, I'd take an Omega IF I found one that worked in proportion to my wrist size. I haven't found one that checks off the most important boxes for me to warrant a purchase. My max is a 42mm case, and I need a tapered bracelet or strap. I have a Citizen Endeavor, which, while a beautiful watch, is too big and heavy for my wrist at 44 mm. When I try on an Omega, I get the same vibe. Even the 39mm models feel "big" to me. Hence, I've gone the way of Tag (3), Christopher Ward (2), and Glycine (1), and that will be it for a while. All offer tapered straps or bracelets, and I rarely notice the difference between my 42 mm Autavia versus the 39mm Sealander, with the others in similar proportions.

2025-03-18 18:53:43 +0000 UTCHow can you cover the Constellation without even mentioning the 41? I’m dashed, I tell you! Simply dashed! (Just kidding) But, it is easily the most beautiful Constellation ever! And besides, I keep hoping you will review this watch because it’s the Omega I bought. But alas, it is never to be. The One and Only Watch Gringa intensely dislikes my favorite watch and it’s a disappointment I must endure forever. (I even emailed you a picture of it a couple of years ago with the bespoke strap, but apparently it did not go through. C’est la vie.) Anyway, this is still a wonderful video and I hope Omega’s designers are taking notes. I actually agree on many points and if they can actually reduce case thicknesses, Omega could rule the World! (My Connie 41 BTW is 13.5mm but seems to wear much thinner, IMO. Easily slips under my French Cuff.) 😎⌚️
