An unusual Omega Dynamic
I've been meaning to post about this watch for a while. I purchased it last year at an auction. In the auction catalog it was listed as being manufactured "circa 1970" although I think this was incorrect. I have found another Dynamic with the same case and general dial in a 1976 German catalog, although the one in the catalog was "day" only not "day/date" like the example I purchased. I've seen lots of oval shaped Dynamics. This is the only TV shaped one I have encountered in person.
A nice signed crown:
Buckle:
and Back:
When I bought it it was on a leather strap with a signed buckle. Thanks to Mrsnak for pointing me toward a vendor who had NOS bracelets. When I ordered the bracelet I also ordered a replacement leather strap.
Here are a couple of pictures of the movement I took before having it serviced by a local watch maker. I believe it is a 1022 calibre (if I'm wrong let me know):
All in all, a bit of 1970's fun that I just couldn't say "No" to.

a very nice and uncommon piece you have there Rover.
I've never seen one before, but i can see where it is placed in the Dynamic range. Possibly one of the last models as tastes changed away from the Oval 'space age' models back towards more conventional shaped watches. Enjoy it and dont make it a stranger ...
Thanks Graham
I have to admit that until I saw it in the auction catalog I had never seen one either. That is part of what drew me to it. It wasn't until after I had purchased it that I started researching it a bit on the internet. I managed to find pictures of a coupl...
I like it....
According to the serial number on your movement it is in a 1974 number range. Best Thomas
Thanks for the info Thomas
As I mentioned in the post I figured the catalog was wrong about it being manufactured "circa 1970".
Interesting and unusual ...

Thanks Nilo
I'm pretty sure that mine has a 1022 movement. Might the difference in movement number (1022 vs 1012) reflect the addition of the day function? I like the starburst design on the top of the case of yours.
I enjoyed seeing that one in the flesh...
Super 70s watch. Yes, should be a 1022. Have that in both my Cosmic 2000s
Thanks Kurt
If you hadn't mentioned where I could find the bracelet it might still be on the original strap. The sources I had previously tried proved to be futile. I was almost to the point of buying a reproduction off a popular internet auction site!

..only easy to find place I've found for authentic new bracelets for vintages. You might try our Australian source (think SM300), as he seems to get around... Other than that, It's trying to find an old one for sale.
I want one of those!
What a fantastic looking watch! And thanks for making me aware that this design exists... I am now on a hunt to find my very own. Do you mind me asking, how much did you pay for it, or have you any idea of its true market value?
Thank you, and welcome to the site
As a rule prices are not discussed on the public forums. I'm currently traveling so I don't have the information you want handy. I will send it to you later this week by private message when I'm home and can look it up.
