Omega Ladymatic in stainless steel
I’ve always been a firm believer in ‘go big or go home.” I would prefer to own a single, luxury mechanical watch than several mid range timepieces. This is one of the reasons why Omega never really appealed to me. Watches are obsolete for reading the time; so really, the only reason to have one is because of an appreciation for its aesthetical and mechanical values.
A watch like the Omega Ladymatic is one that just does not make sense to me. The watch does not look bad; it carries hints of the Cartier Pasha and comes in a diamond bezel rendition. It’s at an agreeable 34mm polished stainless steel case and powered with the Co-Axial calibre 8520, arguably at the top as far as women’s mechanical movements are concerned.
For the same price range, there isn’t much that appeals to me. However, for triple the price, you can easily get your hands on a Breguet Classique 5157 and I would argue it is a better watch by more than three times. While price-wise it is really a far stretch to compare these watches, there are much better options at around the same price. Cartier’s Ballon Bleu in stainless steel or Chanel’s J12 come to mind as more stylish options and better investments.
