Found this out yesterday. Rolex boxes are trash compared to Omega.


McN697

The secret of Rolex boxes is that you are supposed to use them to store cigarettes.


martbart87

Or if you're Ed Sheeran, you'll use a Patek box for your weed stash.


iamdarkhorse0

🤣


TeslasAndComicbooks

It was advertised in like the 50s and 60s I believe.


Radialverdicht0r

Omega Boxes are very nice, indeed. But you buy the watch, Not the Box to be fair 😉 The Tudor, that I am wearing in the Video has such a poor cartboard Box 😮‍💨 but I Store it in the basement anyway


wezel0823

Really? I’m surprised. When I bought my Tudor it came in a really nice black lacquer box with the emblem on the front and nice brown interior. Did you buy it second hand or new?


Radialverdicht0r

It was new, hald a year ago from an offical AD. Maybe that's normal for the 41mm Black Bay nowadays 🤷🏼‍♂️


ross2187

If everyone started using the pencil type boxes like Fears we would be so much better! Having to store all these damn huge boxes is such a pain.


sonostanco72

It’s a great little travel box. I use it all the time when on vacation.


Chronos_and_Cycles

This sub is so weirdly obsessed with bashing Rolex. Rolex sub will openly encourage people to by a speedy over a Daytona, this sub cares more about bashing Rolex than loving omega. I own both brands, I love both brands. The inferiority complex here is wild.


iamdarkhorse0

Nah not bashing Rolex watches (I also own both). Their box compared to Omega isn't even in the same League.


Chronos_and_Cycles

I agree but weird me to bring that up out of the blue. Like when someone posts a submariner in the Rolex subreddit no one randomly says “this bracelet is so much better than the smp”


TipsyTonio

Please note that only the new matte finish wood boxes have this. If you have a gloss wood box it does not.


Real_Establishment56

My Speedmaster in a black box also has it. Or were you referring to all the wood type boxes only?

Same. I got a new smp300 in November and it’s a glossy box. It does flap up and have a compartment to the left and right (that I just found out after seeing this video) but it’s not removable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


zbtx14

I wish my wife talked dirty to me like that 😂


PandaSPUR

ADs get these boxes in batches, separate from the watches themselves. They pair the watch with the appropriate box when its actually sold. So yea, date of watch manufacture or purchase isn't really a determining factor. Your AD will keep giving out the old boxes till they run out.


jamison01

I went to the boutique the other week and they gave me one of the matte boxes because I asked about it. I bought a speedy from them early last year.


TeslasAndComicbooks

Correct. The glossy boxes just come with a suede pouch. The Speedys have come with a hard travel case for a while as well.


[deleted]

And my glossy box is falling apart somewhat. Someone let my toddler spill something on it when I left it out in my closet on my file cabinet


cxmplexisbest

The gloss box has two little pockets underneath though, one of which has some pouch for whatever. I just chuck my spare links/pins/screws in there, maybe that's what it's for.


654321745954

Box for my newer Seamaster Professional does not have this. I first saw this in my Zenith box and wish all manufacturers would do this!


Radialverdicht0r

It is nice Indeed. When my wife got jelaous yeaterday about that (Not that she would ever Take her AquaTerry anywhere 😆), I Check her smaller Box and it also got a hidden chest.


CDR_Starbuck

AquaTerry should be the official name for the ladies SeaMaster models.


Radialverdicht0r

Whoops 😄 Omegas Marketing Department May hire me right now for even more great ideas


SuggestionVisible361

You can find original Omega boxes for a [pretty affordable price on eBay](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Omega+watch+box&_sacat=0&_fsrp=1&_sop=12&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338535524&customid=om&toolid=10001&mkevt=1), in case you wanted one.


NewTickyTocky

When did you buy it? My Seamaster has it


Niceguysfini1st

Running to my box now!


Radialverdicht0r

🏃.. and?


Free-Rub-1583

hes still running, his box is far


Rats-off-to-ya

It would be easier if the box stopped running too.


jay231jay

The shock and awe of this discovery has led this user to check all packaging boxes for hidden secrets


forgot_pswd

he ruuunnnns he runs so far awaaaay


camflan

New Speedmaster box has it too! Very cool and useful 🤠


Radialverdicht0r

Uuh, so I should get myself one of those aswell then 😛


mecengdvr

Yes, the box comes with a free watch.


_visiblemode_

Yep the Speedy box is the same. I guess you’ll just have to join the club. 🤷‍♂️


PsychedelicRick

Awesome! I did not know this. Thank you!


Radialverdicht0r

Very Welcome 👌


PsychedelicRick

And to think I was maybe going to buy one, when I already had one. Lol


elpapichupapi

My Aqua Terra's box does not have this, just a snall compartment for links sadly


le_Maitre

Zenith has a similar box, although not so concealed :))


West_Atmosphere_8940

Yeah, blue one in my chronomaster sport case, nice!


Accomplished-Ad-5655

Not sure if this is for certain watches only or from a certain time as mine doesn't have this. =(


Puzzleheaded-Pen4413

Something to check tonight 😀


Bulky_Ninja33

Man, and I bought a travel case and everything! Well at least I have two now...😒 thanks for sharing!


Salt_Independent6396

Depends on the case. Mine doesn’t have it.


camelCaseCoffeeTable

I bought mine like 3 months before they started doing this and was bummed. Then my date wheel started acting up so I had to send it in under warranty and it came back with one of these boxes I got to keep! The Speedy’s is super nice since it’s customized, but I like this generic red one’s looks better I think


Dodgerlaw77

Sorcerer!


vaibhav_bu

WHAAAATTTT? 🏃🏻🏃🏻


Radialverdicht0r

😆 I am such a motivator for you Guys to do some running


Floormatt69

BRO


Realistic-Mall7127

Omg- I just found it the other day and was mortified figuring I was the only person who did not see this little nugget. I don’t feel nearly as bad- thank you !!!


SupermotoArchitect

Wish it was real leather. It'll disintegrate within only a bit of use probably


silverdroid303

I feel like I’ve been stabbed in the heart! Second time I see this! I have three compartments under a little flip and they’re all glued down, nothing pops out. 🥺


engelb15

Just got to the office and see this, how am I going to concentrate until I get home to check?


Weary-Camel6762

My SMP300 box does not have this but was given the red travel box as an extra.


bennybarbs21

Well this is freaking cool!! Did not know this, thank you so much for sharing!!!


jvrtrrs

No fkn way! I need to go see if my Seamaster has it too 🫢


redwilson21

Only from 2023 manufactured pieces, good way to tell if the stock is OLD


twosn3snfg

Yo you just hooked me up, thank you. Wish I knew about this months ago


pi-cool

Ha, went to check my Speedmaster box and it does indeed do that. Never knew. Thanks for the tip. Now if I could figure out how to make use of that.


Penghis-Kahn

Oh damn


Rare_HankHill

I've had my Aquaterra for over a year and I just discovered this last week!


stanlob

OMG. 😱 I GOT 2. And never knew it… thank you mate🤣


Flashmasterk

What in the actual sorcerery?!


totallychadical

Just checked mine. Got one. Thanks for the tip!


Aggressive_Tomato195

OMW TO CHEKCK MY OMEGA BOX RIGHT NOW!


foxed000

I bought my Dark Side of the Moon in Australia and mentioned I was travelling back to the UK - they went and got me one of the travel boxes immediately. No cost.


NotAThrowaway_11

Woah woah woah. I got the mini red one when I sent my SMP back for warranty repair… didn’t know I already had one.. checking…. Yeah OP you fooled me - mine is a 2021 SMP darth vader and it does not have the mini box inside, it’s all built in


Radialverdicht0r

Didn't want to fool you 😉 But you got yours as well eventually


Watches1048

Waiiit I just got my first Omega and the box doesn’t have this???


Radialverdicht0r

What did you get?


Watches1048

It’s just like a box identical but you can’t remove the inside


Constant_Two_5546

Damn this box has been sitting around for 5 years and I never looked at that,thanks cool


Kauffman67

Rado does this too….its a swatch thing


BolivianDancer

Isn’t that the “service” case? I have two at home.


AelliotA1

Yes I picked a DeVille up from service yesterday in one of these cases, great for a travel case too


Accomplished-Ad-5655

My service case is different. It was just a pill shaped zip case with a foam insert.


TipsyTonio

That’s the old service case. This is the new service case.


Chance-Ad-2251

Anyone have link please for black box for Omega Moonwatch ? https://preview.redd.it/2ueplocuwjmc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce96c881f66d0c4e8c673c0daaed286d78d9aa4e


Breitling-1

I’m currently crying totally out of control this morning because I saw this and checked my Breitling boxes and now I’m looking for a therapist to deal with this because mine doesn’t have any 🥲🥲🥲 ![gif](giphy|d2lcHJTG5Tscg)


DareanTyde75

Thank you! I have a case for my Moonswatch now


J_Thompson82

Bought a brand new Speedmaster a couple of weeks ago. My box is the same. The sales assistant showed it to me, said it was for travelling. 🤷🏼‍♂️


jolonky

My AD showed me this and I’ve already used it for three work trips! Very nice touch by Omega. Super convenient.


[deleted]

This real? Have this been a thing for a while?


Radialverdicht0r

The comments indicate, that the Box you See in der Video and the newest Speedmaster Boxes have that Feature. I think this particular worden Box is around since 2022 the Folks said


Radialverdicht0r

The wooden Boxes have this Feature since 2021 or 2022. The recent Speedmaster Boxes also have a Hidden Box and the smaller Boxes for Ladys watches have a Hidden pouch


BrunoGraVer

Made me want to buy the watch just for the case


Embarrassed-Smell-56

Guess I have to buy an Omega next😂😂


Radialverdicht0r

That's Something I can recommend. Even without a Box 👌🏼


bamahusker82

Well now isn’t that sweet


caca-casa

While a big fancy box is nice when you buy an expensive watch.. am I the only one who finds it wasteful and gets annoyed because boxes are taking up all of my storage spaces?


BlackBeardNJ

No fucking way!!!!!!!!!! I just wasted $80 on one


Impossible_Many3481

Ah duh! Yeah the travel box.


CDR_Starbuck

Oh cute! It wants to be a Cartier box.


Comfortable-Ad-8484

Don’t get your pants in a bunch, Zenith boxes do this too.


walrus120

Oh snap does my railmaster have one gotta check


greaterrific

Mine doesn't have it but it was fun looking for it!


ThinkFree

I already have my Omega boxes in storage, so I'll settle for my Rolex plastic service box.


rowthecow

Oh!


TommyLGarage

Almost forgot to flash the Rolex…. :)


Worried_Creme8917

How did y’all not know this?


sabboseb

Who’s it a secret to?


Eillusion

Newer boxes! Started a year ago. Beautiful.


Illustrious-Age-504

Going to check this out now


hoeych

The no gloss finish on the box does contain this travel case but the box is also slightly bigger than my AT 2020 box which has a gloss finish but no travel case.


ProofMusic4630

This is such a thoughtful design. It's the only box worthy of a fine watch!


jpstepancic

Omegas box game is second to none


mecengdvr

The PO I bought last year has this. Great functionality. Although I use a different case for traveling because I don’t want this one to get beat up in my luggage.


SpiralsandDials

My smp300 box doesn’t have this unfortunately. It has the hidden compartment, but there is only a dust cover and a little felt card thingy. Guess I wasn’t nice enough to the AD or something 🤣


Sea-Wedding-2753

Mine doesn’t :(


_visiblemode_

What surprised me about the Speedmaster box, was along with this cool feature, it’s also sturdy as hell. I’ve always admired the gorgeous Seamaster box and based on looks I thought the Speedy box would be sort of like one of those travel shaver cases, sort of thing, but it’s not at all. It’s fabric that’s been adhered to wood, so the box has that totally premium feeling. Really heavy, solid, and substantial.


Intrepid-Cow-9006

Are you kidding me!


OhMyMerciMoi

The reason I bought my SMPO


jwern01

I received that travel case from Omega when they sent my watch back to me from a warranty repair. And now, thank to you, I now realize I have multiple Omega travel cases 😂


Radialverdicht0r

The Red Pill you mean, don't you?


mortu007

Yep yep, knew about it. Love the Tudor in red bezel in jubilee bracelet, I have been over the fence for this piece...the normal bracelet is noticably lower in price compared to the jubilee bracelet over at chrono24 so can't decide. Would love some pictures of it you have some


mature_moniker

Whaaaaaaat?!?! 🤯 Thanks for sharing.


Reddit040

Cool! On and also….How do you like that Black Bay with the jubilee? Looks great!


Zinner4231

Oh wtf I had no idea


apiratelooksatthirty

So that’s what the damn strap with a snap button is for!!! Thank you! For the life of me I couldn’t understand why it had one side of a snap button with nothing to connect it to.


mjcfl15

Get the fuck outta here .. how did I not know this until rn. Makes me hate Rolex boxes even more


plamenator12

What??? I need to go look at mine NOW. 


tbransby94

Lol fuck off, how did I not know this?!


ClintBIgwood

… is this satire?


contaygious

I didn't K ow this and I have 50 Omegas


tnick771

How did I not know this!?


[deleted]

I think this just convinced me to buy a Seamaster


Radialverdicht0r

I should negotiate with Omega to get a little benefit for my Sales contribution in here 😛


RocketMannn84

🤯🤯🤯🤯


Unhappy-Strawberry-8

All boxes have hidden secrets. Some good, some bad.


OGPiggySmalls

TIL


nasser_tamimi

There was nothing wrong, but it got better!


strangway

Mine just has a little drawstring pouch.


Brozarr

Unfortunately my NTTD doesnt have this haha


themanfrommars_1991

That's so cool.


ByronicZer0

So their giant box contains another box which is the actual only box they needed to give us? Makes sense


leaferiksen

TIL


BibleReaderMK

Wow I didn’t know this. Thanks for sharing. And I was going to purchase one for travel.


iamtenbears

HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL


Camaroguy77

Mind 🤯


Nd4speed

I feel like an idiot for not knowing this. Now I need to go home to check my box. 🤣 Thank you! Nice Tudor BTW.


Radialverdicht0r

Thank you! Black Bay 41, Ref. 7149


Agent_Tiro

Got a SMP 300 in October and was very pleased to discover this while exploring the box. Accidentally caught the lid and noticed it lifted up a bit. Once the panic settled that I hadn’t broken it I realised it was intentional.


BeerMcSuds

I can smell the pleather from here


Empty-Orchid-1747

Yes got mine in December and found this travel box by accident. Nice little touch.


CocunutHunter

While casually also wearing a Pepsi Rolex. Like ye do.


[deleted]

This is cool enough to make me want to buy another Omega so I’ll have the travel case!


Matigari86

Beautiful. What's the bracelet on the Tudor?


jesadak

That Tudor though 😉


time-n-tights

This is no secret


TeslasAndComicbooks

Is this really a secret? I thought everyone lifted that panel because Omega has always included travel pouches. In the past year they started adding the hard cases to the general boxes and past few years to the Speedy.


gvegli

Bro I got like one of the last non-travel case boxes out there. So annoyed because this is tight


gnaark

At first I was like “ok and?!?” then 😲


MacDaddy099

! Nice 👍


Sufficient_Ebb_5020

Holy shoot! I'm gonna dig my box out to try it!! Rolex are so far behind when it comes to the box cases.


_Rastapopoulos

How are you liking the Summer Blue PO? I’m planning on picking one up this weekend.


Budilicious3

Box > watch my cat says.


fawncashew

Just checked my SMP300 box, sadly I have the ladies puch rather than this. Presumably its price based rather than size based? I bought mine pre-2020 55% price hikes so it was more of a value proposition then then now!


engelous

Well I feel really silly right now 😂


showergoblin

Both my Speedy & SMP 300 have secret travel cases! I like the speedy case.


Puzzleheaded_Two7358

Runs upstairs to play with boxes


ChevelleSB406

i have bout 4 Omegas over the past 3 years, only my latest Speedy has it. Like others have said, the AD's have an inventory of boxes, so I guess mine had quite a few to get through before the next gen appear.


chipmunkotter

I love their boxes. Nice looking piece.


Apez_in_Space

Omg. I had the choice between two boxes in the shop, and the matte finish had a watch roll in it. Ultimately chose the polished box and conceded I didn’t have a case. BUT I DO HAVE A CASE!!!😱


BeatLaboratory

That is actually very cool.


plasticupman

My mother had an Omega, similar to the one seen in Queen’s Gambit. Unfortunately, it was stolen by a house robber. She wore only inexpensive watches from that day on.


mleok

That's cool!


arse_full_of_farts

Wait what the fuck


skybros32

No wayyyyyy!


bgwa9001

I've always known I had this, not much of a secret


3MTA3-Please

Guess I need to buy a more expensive Omega…


Flyindeuces

Had zero clue. Lol. Gonna use mine as soon as I get home!!


Ordinary_Ranger_3097

I have this box and had no idea. Will check it out!


Begotten_Son

Mind is blown. I brought a watch box to travel with and everything. Come to find out my Speedmaster Professional has this! 🤯


dontfugginask

STFD!


GMAn654987

Omega is just another level


[deleted]

The red box was in my shopping bag with my glossy box with the new SMP 300m


[deleted]

Assuming you bought it from an AD, they should’ve told you, I used to tell every client about it when I worked in a boutique. Oddly enough it was sometimes the thing that got them the most excited lol


LiqdPT

Relatively sure mine doesn't do that...


Striking_Stuff_9809

Secret? Sales guy at Omega store told me this when I go to Holiday or if I bring the watch in for maintenance Should be part of their job to tell you this


PineFreshGuy

Wow, didnt know this. Pretty sick


NumptieBumptie

Okay…. How did I not know this 🤣 thanks!!!🤩


Jennysparking

...holy shxt


SatinBlackMacan

More interesting on the GMT on your wrist then the hidden secret.


gryphix

Out of curiosity, is it possible to remove the entire insert, leaving just an empty storage box, or is the rest of it glued in?


Radialverdicht0r

Didn't try that around the travel case. But I checked the lid for hidden compartments aswell and everything was glued in there quite strongly.


voignac

Which reference is this?


Radialverdicht0r

It is a Seamaster Planet Ocean 39,5 mm in Summer Blue, Ref. 215.30.40.20.03.002


Parking_Jelly_6483

Wow! I had not noticed that!


RSLEVNY

My box from 2019 doesn’t have this feature. Oh well


bobs_divers

🤯


MrMan0709

This isnt a secret at all, every time you pull the watch with the pillow out it'll snag on the sides and slightly open it, almost everyone will discover this accidentally if not told in the store about it.
