If it's about durability, longevity, and accuracy, you can save an order of magnitude and do even better on all fronts. If it's about wearing a classic piece of history, well ... get the Omega.

Owning a Omega is on my bucket list...
But at work I have the G-shock atomic solar mentioned above (and paid $100
)
For Christmas my wife had this rebuilt/refurbished for me:
Bought off eBay for $160, kept crapy time so sat in a drawer for 10 years, wife spent $225 to refurbish, works great.
They are now selling for $800-$1000 on eBay
