With a far from comprehensive collection of color photographs of vintage Omega's, a smattering of vintage ad reproductions, and a barely comprehensible company history, this book's only saving grace is the illustrated history of Omega movements.

If you need more movement info than can be found in Cooksey-Shugart, buy this book. Otherwise your money is better spent on something more generic, like (Heinz Hampel's) Automatic Wristwatches from Switzerland.

If you are interested in more than how Omega watches look and need to know what's inside them, this book is a great resource. As a collector it's frustrating to see watches listed for sale with movement calibers listed, but not have a source of information that provides details on the movements. For Omega watches only, this book seems to be definitive in this area. I also enjoyed the descriptions of the major Omega lines and the other information on the company, although it's far from comprehensive. I would only recommend this book if you want or need the technical data on the Omega movements.

This book tells the long history of Omega and describes all watchlines (Constellation, Deville, Seamaster, Speedmaster etc) very well. There is not much depth, but the book do give you a lot of information about the used movements, great photos and information on all watchlines by Omega. For indepth stories about how watches work, buy Chronograph Wristwatches : To Stop Time; Reinhard Meis, Gerd R. Lang or Wristwatch Chronometers : Mechanical Precision Watches and Their Testing; Fritz Von Osterhausen.

"Watches..." was about, well, watches. Time dragged as I read this bland book--the literary equivalent of puffed rice. I actually threw my watch away after reading this.

none only this compilation is constantly outdated (the collection showed are in fact the one showed at the basel fair 2 years before) but the lay out and design is desesperatly poor of creativity and boring article about the companies full of typos. Obviously somebody is trying to make money on the back of the fascinating watch world.

This is a good reference book for anyone starting out collecting or just interested in watches. The pictures are nice and glossy and it also has pictures of the movements. Not a lot of history of the various manufactures although it does list most all the major companies. I would have liked to see more information on recent models; it appears the book has not been updated in the last two or three years. Definitely lacking was any listing of vintage models from the various manufactures. Overall very good but incomplete.
