The simple black dial with thin hour and minute hands and the signature black tachymeter bezel complements a wide range of outfits.

Takeaway
If you have more than five watches in your possession, you won’t want to carry them all with you when you travel. As much as you adore your Omega wristwatches, being a bit selective in this scenario is a smart idea. Having a large collection of timepieces will be clunky and burdensome, and you will almost certainly not be able to wear them all.
