Patek Philippe is in a league of it's own, as is Rolex. Omega is "special" only because they have a "name" and reputation which they have to maintain, so what you get is a watch that is highly-accurate and beautifully made out of high end materials. That's what you pay for.

Their connection to the moon landings, Jacques Cousteau and the Olympics is important to some, but not to me. I just like the design of the Seamaster, although I'm not a diver as such -the only diving I do is between guys' legs.

I could by a similar design from, say, Timex but it's not the same. Quality costs money.
