Back when the cal 321 craze was in full force, Seamaster chronos . . .
. . . were the lower cost alternative to 321 ownership. There's been a market correction going on for some time now . . . the Seamaster variants are getting their due now.
Thanks for sharing!

Wearing the most pristine example of my vintage Omega collection . . .
. . . today. Ca 1950 ref 2493 cal 333 chronometer, gold-capped lugs and 18 kt gold bezel. Entirely original. Which Omega's on your wrist? Art ...
Macros are easy now with my new Sony . . .
. . . mirrorless camera. There'll be more to come . . .
Beautiful!
Great piece. Love the quartered dial. My Omegas are in the bank, but wanted to share this one. What looks like a ding on the upper left lug is an import mark. Probably a precursor to the Seamaster. 37mm. ...
Likely delivered to a Portuguese or Brazilian agent. Ref 2657? . . .
. . . there's one . . . . . . in my collection, too. Best, Art ...

A pristine example of ref 2493 Omega you share here dear Art. A true jewel in this condition. I love the patina it shows on its gold bezel which adds to its charming looks.
I had changed my wrist company for another Speedmaster with an "artificial" chocolate dial as it is a version which was offered by Omega during just a few years around 2012 if my memory doesn`t fail. May I ask which is the material on the "butt" of your b...
The butt (and rings and joint) of the cue is juma, a thermoplastic . . .
. . . that's available in 'snakeskin' configuration. Posing the lizard strap and snakeskin butt together was intentional . . . I was hoping someone would catch the pairing! 😉
Ahh ok. I was surprised by the "scales" on this material. Thought about other natural and exotic materials which are often used in high end knife handles like Musk Ox.
I didn`t know about "juma" thank you for the clarification dear Art. Cheers, Abel
Hello dear Art: My apologies...
... By mistake I posted the pictures of my answer in your opening post and when I realized what I had done I deleted my pictures immediately. But I left "my tracks" in a note saying that your message had been edited by me. I´m sorry and apologize for my "...
