It includes a mix of high-end luxury and affordable watches, catering to a wide range of preferences and occasions. The standout pieces, such as the Omega Seamaster and Zenith Defy 21, add significant value with their technical excellence and design. ### Ideas for Improvement 1. **Enhance Material Variety**: Introduce watches with rare materials like ceramic or meteorite dials to elevate the material score.
