Omega from our own stock
Buying Omega at Reuven Watches
Speedmaster, Seamaster, Constellation and the classics in between. Everything listed here we bought and checked ourselves, with photos of the watch you get and a year's guarantee on the movement.
No Omega in stock right now
Our stock consists of what we buy ourselves, so it changes. Tell us which Omega you are looking for and in which version and we will keep it in mind as soon as one comes in. Below is what else to watch for on this brand.
Why does service history weigh more heavily at Omega?
Omega makes watches that are worn a great deal, and it shows. On a pre-owned Omega the question is therefore not only how it looks but also when it was last serviced, and by whom. We state what we know and what we have had done ourselves.
At most luxury brands a service receipt is a pleasant extra. At Omega it is practical information, because these watches are genuinely worn: travelling, in the water, daily. A fifteen-year-old Seamaster that has never been serviced is a different watch from the same reference with a service two years ago.
The co-axial escapement
From 1999 Omega introduced a different kind of escapement with less friction. That is engineering you notice nothing of as the wearer, but it does change who can service it: not every watchmaker works on them. On a watch with that movement we state what we know of its history.
What you can see for yourself in our photos
The state of the bezel, and on a dive watch whether it still turns and clicks evenly. On a Speedmaster, whether the counters reset cleanly to zero. And the stretch in the bracelet, because that tells you more honestly how often a watch has been worn than the case does.
Before it goes on sale
Four things we check before an Omega goes on sale
At a brand that is genuinely worn, the information sits in the wear parts. Whatever comes out of that is in the description.
When it was last serviced
If there is a service receipt, it is included, with the date and who did the work. A service at Omega itself says more than one at an unknown workshop. If we do not know, we write that too rather than imply anything.
The bezel on a dive watch
On a Seamaster the bezel rotates and that is a wear part: it should turn evenly, with audible clicks and without play. On the generations with ceramic, damage takes the form of small chipped edges rather than scratches, and you only see those close up.
The chronograph on a Speedmaster
Start, stop, and a clean reset to zero. If a counter stops just short of zero, that can be put right but it belongs in the listing. On the hand-wound versions we also check that winding runs smoothly without catching.
Whether the dial and the hands are the originals
On older Omegas parts were replaced at services, and back then that happened without anything being written down. A replaced dial does not make a watch bad, but it does make it something other than an original example, and that difference ought to be visible.
If something in the description is not clear, just ask. We would rather explain what a service receipt means than have you guess at it.
Warranty and authenticity
Why here
What has and has not been done to it is stated
At a brand worn as much as this one, the history is the most interesting part of the description. We write down what we know and stay silent about nothing we do not. That sometimes makes a listing less flattering and the purchase far more predictable.
- Service history included where there is one
- Photos of the watch you get
- A year's guarantee on the movement
- Fourteen days to change your mind after receipt

By model
Which Omega are you looking for?
The stock follows what we buy and so changes continually. Below, each model sets out what to watch for on a used example.
Buy an Omega Speedmaster
The Speedmaster is the chronograph the brand is known for, and there are generations that look much alike in a photo but have different movements. If you want to buy a pre-owned Speedmaster, ask about the reference and about the chronograph: does it start, does it stop, and do the counters reset cleanly to zero.
Buy an Omega Seamaster
The Seamaster is the dive line and runs from a hundred and fifty to twelve hundred metres of water resistance, with a wave pattern on some generations and not on others. When buying a pre-owned Seamaster the bezel is the most important wear part: it should turn evenly with audible clicks.
Buy an Omega Moonwatch
Moonwatch is the name for the Speedmaster with a hand-wound movement and a solid or a display caseback, depending on the version. On a pre-owned example we check that winding runs smoothly and that the crystal is still the right type, because on this model it has been replaced more often than on others.
Buy an Omega Constellation
The Constellation is recognisable by the four claws on the case and comes in steel, two-tone and gold. On a pre-owned Constellation we look at the state of those claws and at the bracelet, because on the integrated versions loose links are not always to be had any more.
Buy an Omega with service history
At Omega a service receipt is no incidental but practical information. We state when a watch was last serviced and by whom, where we know. Where we do not, that is stated too, because an assumption about servicing is exactly what you do not want to buy.
Buy an Omega with a co-axial movement
Since 1999 Omega has used a different kind of escapement with less friction. As the wearer you notice nothing of it, but it does change who can service it, because not every watchmaker works on them. On a watch with that movement it is stated in the description.
Buy an Omega in Utrecht
We are at Amsterdamsestraatweg 251 in Utrecht and that is our only premises. On Wednesday and Thursday between 12:00 and 17:00 you can walk in without an appointment; all other days by appointment, weekends included. Trying a dive watch on before you buy it helps: the weight works out differently on a wrist than in a photo.
Buy an Omega, or sell your own watch first
We buy as well, of every brand and in any condition, and there is no minimum value. The page on selling an Omega sets out what we check when buying, with pages of their own for the Speedmaster and the Seamaster.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about buying an Omega
Does every watch come with a service history?
If there is one, it is included, with the date and who did the work.
If there is no receipt, we write that too. On a twenty-year-old watch that is the rule rather than the exception, and it is better that you know than that we leave it out.
What is a co-axial movement?
An escapement Omega introduced from 1999 that has less friction than the usual type.
As the wearer you notice nothing of it. What it does change is who can service it, because not every watchmaker works on them. On a watch with that movement it is stated in the description.
Do I get a guarantee on a pre-owned Omega?
Yes, a year on the movement. If anything goes wrong with the running movement within that year, we put it right.
Damage from drops, water or your own interventions is not covered. Beyond that you keep your statutory rights; see warranty and authenticity.
How do I know whether the bezel is still good?
On a dive watch the bezel should turn evenly, with audible clicks and without play. That is in our description and you can feel it for yourself in the showroom.
On the generations with a ceramic insert, damage takes the form of small chipped edges rather than scratches; we take a close-up of those.
Is the original dial still fitted?
If we can establish it, it is stated. On older Omegas parts were replaced at services without anything being written down.
A replaced dial does not make a watch bad, but it does make it something other than an original example. If we cannot be sure, we write that as it is.
Can I come and try the watch on first?
Please do. We are at Amsterdamsestraatweg 251 in Utrecht. Wednesday and Thursday without an appointment between 12:00 and 17:00, all other days by appointment.
On a dive watch it really helps: the weight and the thickness work out differently on a wrist than in a photo.
What if it does not suit me?
If you buy in the web shop, you have fourteen days from receipt to change your mind, no reason needed.
How that works is set out on returns and cooling-off period.
Do you buy Omega too?
Yes, every model, in any condition, with or without papers, and with no minimum value.
See selling an Omega, with pages of their own for the Speedmaster and the Seamaster listing the references.
