Hello guys,
here is the ultimate solution from the 30ies...
It is a rare yellow gold model of Omega "Marine" which was the first attempt to build a
waterproof watch. Normally they are made of SS but this particular watch was made in yellow gold -
these gold watches mostly have been sold by Cartier, Tiffany´s etc. and often there is only the
retailer´s name on the dial instead of the Omega script and logo.
This particular watch was sold to and afterwards through Udall Ballou, a well known
juweler and retailer in New York (at that time).
For the attachment of the strap there is a solid gold barr with a screw head and a thread on the other end.
This is a secure and strong way to hold the watch and also the strap can be changed easily!
Below you can see a better picture in detail...
The gold barr is made of rose gold whereas the case is yellow gold. So there is a nice accent to the appearance of the watch.
It is a kind of stylish "design" aspect which adds to the beauty of the watch.
In the picture below you can see the screw head on one side and the end of the screw on the opposite side.
Enjoy the pics!
kind regards
Erich
