Omega

extra photo and OJ 2439

 

Dear Sirs  

Thank you so much for your forthcoming replies so far,- they are really appreciated, and many apologies regarding photo quality !  

I’m incapable of taking a picture that is even approximately close to the actual nuance of the dial,which is an evenly grayish champagne. The subdial has a circular texture/pattern that gives it a slightly more silver like shine.

The gold color is copperish,- not sure about the terminology pink-, yellow-, red- and rose colored gold. The hands are exactly the same color as the case.  

I’m inclosing yet another amateurish photo, only this time in high definition and a photo with the sibling OJ 2439 from 1952. The later photo gives a better impression of the wabi-sabi to the Cosmic.

Looking at these old dials, there is always something to wonder about, doubt, admire and recognize. Wearing the watches always gives you a feeling of being in tune with time past and time to come smile.

 It’s a great hobby and really nice to share on occasion.

Once again many thank for your input gentlemen.

 

Yours Jacob

Dear Sirs Got this Cosmic, OJ2473 yesterday at an auktion in Copenhagen. Fair price and a huge "check" on the old to-get list. Also it's my first moonphase, so I'm intangled in sideral moons, 29,53 days and what not. Hope there is a clear sky tonight :-) ...

the dial being a well done repaint. The font of "omega" is too thick, the minute hash marks are a bit too far from the five minute markers and the subdial markings are bit off. Would want to see a face on high resolution picture to consider it a bit more.... 

I agree....

. . . with a contrary take to the assessments offered so far. I don't own one, but our local vintage Omega specialist dealer has many Cosmics, all of which I've seen in the metal. If yours is a refinished dial, then it's very well done. The points made ar...

Hi Thomas, first of all huge congrats on this beauty - in the picture it seems to be rose gold (my favorite color) - am I right? Concerning the dial - it is very hard to tell from this picture... I do not dare to make a final statement, it well might be a...

These are really beautiful watches! Especially the referenced watch in the second photo. The thin blue seconds hand and seconds markers really contrast nicely. And I'm always a sucker for those larger more robust looking lugs.
