Re: Tag Heuer Vs Omega
In Response To: Tag Heuer Vs Omega ()

I don't think they are in the same price range. Majority of the Tag Heuers are of the same price range as that of Omega's SMP Bond Edition. SMP Bond Editon is one of the more affordable Omegas especially if you purcdhase the quartz model.

In terms of prestige, no comparison at all. It's like comnparing a 5 series BMW with a Toyota Corolla. Omega's history goes a long way.

YOu should check out their website to learn more about Omega. Check out also this site they have classification of watches here.

Omega's category goeswith Breitling, Cartier and of course Rolex.

Tag Heuer's category goes with Raymond Weil, Longines, Oris etc.

: can we consider that Tag Heuer and Omega are
: direct competitors (reputation, prestige,
: quality, movement etc) because they are in
: the same range of price?
: Also, is the stainless steel used for the Tag
: Heuer S/el Link is the 316L as the new f1?

: Thanks
