. . . about Omega guys.


The Omega Man, 1970

Ok, maybe not.  But there are at least a few Omega collectors on this forum, and several more who own one or more examples from one of the most prolific established Swiss manufacturers.

To commemorate the 60th anniversary of Omega's Trinity - Seamaster, Speedmaster, and Railmaster - let's share the Omegas in our collections, or the ones we fancy.

Here's Black Connie . . .



['57 Ω ref 2852]

. . . to get us started.  I'll post a few more later in the thread.

Omega Speedmaster Moon Phase Aventurine: The dial: "It's full of stars". The mother pearl Moon is amazing. Another wrist shot. And a B&W one. A wonderful weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...  

Gotta love the aventurine dial . . .

 
 By: Dr No : June 29th, 2017-12:51
. . . of the limited Speedy moonphase! I believe these were produced for only a few years, possibly three or four. Perhaps Omega will bring the technique back for a limited edition Pro . . . that would be interesting. Art ...  

Mesmerising dial!

Love the star heaven! Best Blomman

What a dial !.. A bit eclectic but alluring ! Really love it

 
 By: hs111 : June 30th, 2017-06:17
I guess that dial Is so special, no two alike.. - This one is to envy you quite a bit, Nilo !

Seen it and love it!

Thank you...

 
 By: HighEndOne : July 20th, 2017-10:18
Yes... Almost impossible to find those straps now. The way they attach to the case is great. No lugs at all. Now if I can only find one of those tools for the strap attach ring...

Thanks Mr. Blue... [nt]

You seem to have that "caught in the act" look.

Excellent! Croatian stones! [nt]

. . . are the bread-and-butter of Omega collecting. Anyone interested in vintage could hardly do better than to concentrate on Omega. All three of yours are affordable, and there are still parts available for the 5xx movements, so no need to worry about l...

Fantastic watch and story Arie!! ...

tnx

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : July 2nd, 2017-11:01
Yes with watches like this there is no other way.

Remember, soft eraser... If not then it'll scratch the gold...

 
 By: JFT : July 3rd, 2017-05:16
You know.... Those erasers that used for exam.... And hey this works with anykind of gold cases too (Goldfilled, gold plated, gold cap) but not on PVD tho as it's not a "pure" gold... Please tell me the result! Best, Jev

I love Connies! And your black dial arrow point indexes...

 
 By: Subexplorer : June 30th, 2017-12:40

I well see a CK 2998, I mean the vintage, a CK 2042 ( Vintage Pilot ) a CK 2777, a manual chronometer, and a 33.3. You see... Easily 5. Best, dear Art. Nicolas

All of them are getting hard to find, Nicolas . . .

 
 By: Dr No : July 1st, 2017-14:22
. . . and 2042s are practically impossible. The RAF is probably the least difficult in terms of availability, although arguably the most traitorous in terms of provenance and originality. Let me know if I can ever be of assistance . . .

I would be happy with just one! :)
