Summary: An Omega collector's must have book
Review: 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.

Summary: A musthave for every Omega collector/fanatic
Review: 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.

Summary: Beautiful pictures, terrible text
Review: While this book is a worthwhile addition to the enthusiastic watch-collector's
library, that worth rests only on the quality of the photographs. The author is a well-known Austrian writer on horological subjects; unfortunately, the awkwardly rendered translation does little credit to either the
author or the publisher

Summary: For Really Serious Omega Collectors Only
Review: 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.

Summary: Hopeless. Nothing more than nice pictures
Review: Zero contents on the history of Omega, the movements, rare watches etc
