Omega Diefei Watch History and Quality

The Diefei series was born in 1960. She is a descendant of the Seamaster series, with a front-open or full case. This is the predecessor of Diefei. At that time, the words "Diefei" only existed in advertisements and catalogs, and there was no word "Diefei" on real objects. The Diefei series only marked the name "Seamaster" on the dial, so it still looked like a Seamaster series, but there were differences in the case. In 1963, the double LOGO of "Seamaster Diefei" appeared on the watch dial. This is the request of Norman Morris, the general agent of Omega in the United States. He wants to separate Diefei into an independent company and select it as the best-selling product.

In 1967, "Haiba Diefei" was finally renamed "Diefei". Freed from her "Seamaster" brother, Die Fei was able to express her own essence; it quickly developed into a hit and, in terms of sales, Omega's most important product line. It focuses on simple design.

The entry-level Diefei has a clumsy and simple shape, which can be said to have taken simplicity to the extreme. The dial ranges from 36mm to 40mm, which is the standard range for formal watches. It retains the traditional butterfly dial shape, traditional three-hand needle, dial color, and shape, which also gives us a lot of room to choose. And the entry price of Diefei is also relatively low for the Omega brand. You can buy an Omega at a price of more than 20,000, which is still quite worthwhile.

Omega Diefei also has a 8500 movement series, which has now been upgraded to the 8900 movement. The appearance of this series is also divided into two styles. One is the side-transparent style Diefei, headed by bright blue, which is considered the high-end model of the Diefei series.

Compared with the entry-level model, the workmanship of this bright blue butterfly is more refined, the shape is more masculine, and it feels more resolute, and of course more high-end. The Diefei series has many styles, and there are also some special watches. Every series of Omega has its own bumps and convexes, so there is no difference between the bumps and troughs of the watches. The only difference is the price.

Tips for buying watches: Diefei’s most popular model is the entry-level basic model. After all, Diefei’s movement is equipped with the 2500D model. This movement is not Omega’s coaxial movement. As an entry-level watch enthusiast, you can still choose it. If your budget is higher, it is better to choose the new Seamaster. In addition, now that Omega can choose nylon straps, Diefei no longer only has business watches.
