Omega

just bought a 2534.50...need info.

Hello everyone

I am very excited to announce that I just bought a pre-loved Seamaster GMT 50th Anniversary model.
I am very pleased with my luck in finding one in great condition and in my choice
Will share pics in a few days when I have some time.

I would like to know more about the watch as there are some things I cannot explain about the watch:

1. it does not have the speedy bracelet but the bond one and yet doesnt have either the speedy or the bond clasp, but a diffrent clasp altogether.why is that so and is that so on any other model seamasters too?
2. what is the significance of the '50 years' marking at the back? was a limited edition but then it doesnt have alimited edition number at the back or was a limited production model? if it was only a limited production model, could you help me with when it was generally made and for how long was this model made?

thank you in advance for your kind help

regards,
Asad

as far as im aware the 50th anniversary gmt was introduced in 1998 which would have had a 56 million serial number give or take. yours could in that case be from 2002, perhaps 2001-2003. you can go onto the omega website and pay for an extract from the r...

...check the serial number for you. I bought it in January 1999 and according to Omega aftersales service department it was produced on a certain day in September 1998 or so they told me once. The serial number begins with a "6" but I don't recall the rem...

Hey, look what I found on the net.

"The 2534.50 was replaced by the 2234.50 in 2003 when Omega decided to keep the Bond style bracelet specifically for Bond watches. The 2234.50 was given the Speedy style bracelet." The above quote was posted on another forum by John Rochowicz in 2007, rep...

...for your very valuable input...you guys sure are the best, giving so much and so valid info, Ruckdee and G99 I am only left with one more question, do are all the seamaster models with these sword hands have '50 years' written at the back? I would most...

...any Seamaster having the "50 years" on the back. The titanium Seamaster for the 150th anniversary of Omega had "150th anniversary" or something to that effect on the back though. About the pics, we can wait, no rush there. Just be sure to give us a tre...

it was only the GMT that had 50 years on it. im racking my brains to get this right, but i think the GMT was introduced in 98 to celebrate 50 years of the seamaster. i dont recall seeing any GMTs before that. unless you like the great white the 50 y...

I agree with you. [nt]

...that had papers dating it from 2005. remember that movements can sit around for a while at Omega before they get installed. These are great watches. I recently took my 2234.50 on my UK trip. My favorite travel watch. Prefer the Bond bracelet over the l...
