Look for refs 2493, 2494 (sweep seconds), and . . .
. . . 2657. They came in several dial variations and chronometer rated as well as non. I've been fortunate to land mostly original (save for a crown on the 2494) and unpolished examples of all three refs, two of which are chronometers. With 36 mm cases they're in everyone's comfort zone.

I wish this was today - the Omega Seamaster 1948 in its natural environment 🌊
While at least the first part of the day will be filled with food shopping and chores to make sure we’re set up for the weekend, one can dream of the Seamaster in a more fitting environment. One of my few complaints of the reissue is the relatively low WR...
Great eye 👁️
Thanks a lot for the kind words 🙏🏻 In spite of living next to a lake we somehow didn’t manage much in the form of water sports over the last couple of years 🤷🏻♂️
Was that how you recognized it?
Wasn’t aware of that 😊 It is a wonderful city but especially so for those somewhat younger. It does have a lot of culture, too but then that’s not fully unique to it 😊
😄 lets say I found Romance with its Denizens so has a Special Place in my Heart
The water has a unique color and so does the light
That is of course a completely different story 😊👏🏻
Still regularly spend time there? 😊
So a live shot so to say?
In which case you have an even much more enjoyable water environment than in my picture 😁👍🏻
Writing this in the Latin alphabet makes it doubly impressive…
It’s the same for me, ‘kak u sobake, ponimaju, skazat ne mogu’ 😉
Here a dessert from the country…
The conversation today reminded me that we have all the ingredients for it at home 😁😋 ...
Forgot the name…
It’s simple to make - frozen lingonberries, pine kernels and honey 😋 Nicely refreshing and the sour, nutty and sweet tastes make for a nice combination 👍🏻
Thanks a lot!
Checked the menu of our ‘local’ from back in the day: Brusnika s kedrovimi orehami s medom
Indeed the show was great fun…
One of those not driving the parents crazy if the kids watched it on an endless loop 😉
What a beautiful and classy vintage looking Omega Seamaster.
That really is a great looking watch so simple but elegant at the same time, wear and enjoy it in good health. Marc
Thank you 🙏🏻
It really is a very nice reissue IMHO. Same goes for the small seconds version 👍🏻
It’s the NATO that comes with the watch…
The watch comes with three straps, a sturgeon leather in dark blue, a brown leather one and finally the Admiralty Grey NATO. Works quite well on a stingray, too 😉 ...
They are a wonderful change of pace…
For a watch. I really like them and they add a bit of sparkle. For me it was the esteemed member HS111 who got me into the path of stingray 😊👍🏻
Glad you like the combination 😊👍🏻
The strap works quite well with the Cartier Drive Extra Flat, too 😁
I’ve been quite tempted by
this Seamaster 1948 at some point. On a brown leather strap I found it very much to my taste! credit: Fratello ...
A wonderful one in the small seconds version, too 👌🏻👍🏻
The brown strap you’re showing is one of the three that comes with the watch 👍🏻😊
Oh I didn’t realize the watch came with 3 straps!
In fact, the small seconds version has a little too much text on the upper part of the dial (4 lines). The center seconds might be a little better balanced! ...
The other two are well hidden in a lower compartment…
Of the watch box 😉 As for text, I agree that most watch companies put too much on 🤷🏻♂️
Both are nice in their own way 😊👍🏻
The short hands on the central seconds hand version are an acquired taste, even if historically correct 👍🏻
Not today, but tomorrow . . .
. . . I'll wear a vintage model . . . . . . before it's set to return to the safe deposit box until his next turn in the rotation. Best, Art ...
Ref 2657 was a double-reference with 2494 . . .
. . . and both were the inspiration for the current 1948 issues. Happy Easter, Kristjan! Art ...
Thanks for this one, Art!
Wasn’t aware that the vintage small seconds also had the short hands 👍🏻 Happy Easter to you, too 👋🏻
Thanks for posting this
Besides the beautiful vibes I have been debating whether to add that same model (or one of its vintage siblings, old omegas are such a bargain it's hard to resist).
Art will probably be better qualified to comment on the vintage…
As to the modern one, I can say it’s a lovely, really versatile watch. You will most likely not regret it 👍🏻

Yes…for a brand that
can go to the bottom (literally) of the ocean I’ve always thought their depth ratings can be oddly arbitrary…🤔
Indeed - and it would hardly have cost them anything to make it…
Somewhat more befitting of the name 😉
