| . . . . just looking at Tom's Omega Speedy. It immediately brought the term "Ageless" to my mind. Such a classic look, so perfectlly done.
How many watches can make such a claim?
So many of the watches made today are reaching for distinction, they may be awkward in appearance in a few short years.
Is it actually different in the eyes of each beholder?
Obviously there are the ever replicated and hommaged designs . . . . But what in your eyes is a true "Ageless Design"?
Do you have such a watch in your collection? Pictures please. |

| I call this category "Timeless" and completely agree.
Top of my head... Omega PO Rolex Submariner Panerai (almost all of 'em)
Can any Invicta ever claim to be a member of this exclusive category? Only "time" will tell. | |

| some watch designs are ageless. I would say this case shape has it, maybe not the color so much.. |

| After looking at over 500 luxury watches in Vegas last week at multiple stores, I am more sure then ever that my Oris, AND THE OTHER SIMILAR Oris models are "ageless". And a lot of this has to do with the fact that not only are they top quality BUT there really is NOTHING similar out there, and I looked. | |

| You guys REALLY have this one covered ! ALL of these watches are just tremendous, and will most likely stand the test of time. I have mostly sport type watches, that might be nice to me in years to come. However, I'm not sure they will stand the overall test of time for others. So, I will add a few more that I don't have, that might stand the test. ____________________________________ | |

| After seeing all the examples listed so far, I would have to agree with ALL of them. I guess when someone say "classicand timeless" I always think of Omega, Rolex, Panerai, Hamilton and yes, even Oris. I think the Oris divers will last because they are a unique enough but still conservative design that they will never lose their style thus lasting for a long time. |

| . . . . thanks for the thought to your replies Gents. Looking at what you have all put out there . . . . seems like we most all agree that Omega in general has tremendous appeal and staying power. In looking at my own group of watches, I realize I don't have much with the lasting design that we all seem to like. Kinda like growing up, in a way. . . . |
