A better comparison would probably be one of the other Swatch group brands like Longines, Hamilton, Tissot etc as a gateway to an Omega just as Tudor may be an eventual gateway to a Rolex.
Furthermore to say that Omega has “completely destroyed their brand equity” is laughable. It has no more destroyed brand equity than Toyota has destroyed Lexus by building the Corolla.

Two different things. One is a Toyota and one is a Lexus. Two different brands owned by the same parent.
Omega actually lent their name to collaborate and make endless versions of cheap overpriced toys even at retail, let alone secondary prices.
