Omega watch Model Name

The remaining series of DeVille models mostly use the same movements used across most OMEGA model lines. The differentiation between these DeVille series are the case and bracelet styles. The "Symbol" derived its name from the first models in this design bearing art symbols-such as the oriental Yin-Yang-on their dials.

　　Very few watches in this series bear the DeVille name on their dials. The DeVille line keeps to very clean, classic designs. So dial labeling is normally kept to an absolute minimum of one or two lines of descriptive text. The DeVille Coaxial Limited Edition is the one notable exception. OMEGA broke from their normal tasteful conservatism by issuing the initial coaxial models with its dial cluttered with four lines of descriptive text, including one over the OMEGA logo and name.

　　Omega watch Speedmaster

　　Originated in the late 1950's, the Speedmaster line of chronograph watches was catapulted to fame by their selection by NASA for use in manned space missions starting in the 1960's. The Speedmaster "Moon Watch" is the best known and most enduring OMEGA model.

　　OMEGA OMEGA Seamaster, Aqua Terra and Railmaster

　　Originating in 1948, the Seamaster series now represents several distinct groups of watches.

　　• The Seamaster 120 line continues the classic dress-style. No longer carried in the USA, but still available in pther parts of the world.

　　• The Seamaster Professional series is a bolder, more rugged, professional grade diving watch.

　　• The Seamaster AQUA TERRA is a very elegant, bold dressy watch, featuring the OMEGA Co-Axial movements.

　　• The Railmaster is a variation of the Aqua Terra line, based closely on the classic 1957 OMEGA Railmaster.

　　Omega watch Dynamic

　　A special line that OMEGA uses to introduce alternative styles. The latest Dynamic models are the fourth series issued under the Dynamic name, and were produced from 1998-2000. This release features two models reviving the style of some of OMEGA's 1940's military watch designs. Generally considered by OMEGA collectors to be greatly overlooked by the watch buying public and one of the best values in new and near-new used OMEGA watches currently available.

Older OMEGA Model Lines

　　Other OMEGA model names and model lines you might encounter among older and vintage OMEGA watches:

　　• FlightMaster-a line of watches oriented toward pilots.

　　• RailMaster-a line of watches oriented toward railroad workers and railroad enthusiasts.

　　• Dynamic-besides the 1998-2000 Dynamic, three were prior series that used this model name. There is no continuity of style across the four Dynamic series.

　　• Geneve-an 'economy' line of watches marketed in the early to mid 1960's. These evolved into the 'Seamaster 600' series of the late 1960's and early 1970's. Omega watch

　　• Cosmic, Cosmic 2000

　　• El Ranchero

OMEGA Watches Without A Model Name On Them

　　While many OMEGA watches bear one of the model series names, quite a few bear only the OMEGA name. This occurs for several reasons. First, in earlier decades, it was not as common for every watch to have to be part of a specific model line. Many watches were simply sold under the company name. Certain models series were given names to help differentiate them by purpose or target market, but the other models were simply sold as "OMEGA." Omega watch

　　Second, during the 1960's and 1970's, OMEGA shipped many bare movements for other manufacturers to custom build OMEGA cases. So a moderate number of OMEGA labeled watches from that period were sold with dials and cases not made by OMEGA, and thereby not part of any of the official factory model series. OMEGA discontinued this practice in the early 1980's, as it was seen to be weaken the strength of the OMEGA brand.

　　And finally, even today, many watches under the OMEGA DeVille line omit the DeVille name from the dial to keep their looks especially neat and uncluttered.
