Made two attempts ...
Ginger,
Good morning.
I tried two straps. First one was dark gray (a tad darker than the inner dial) and one simple all black one.
So far, under my wife judgement, the all black wins.
It will be the watch of the Monday (not too much work -- Memorial day in US).
Cheers,
Nilo
Catch of the day - Omega Memomatic
Team, Here is the result of today's flea market hunt. An Omega Memomatic (I need to check the movement number to determine the approximate manufacture date), from the 70's. This watch was reviewed by Marv in June 2009 - omega.watchprosite.com 6 Su...
Lovely funky watch, Nilo.
First of all, Bravo, my friend. A nice grey leather strap will be perfect on this Memomatic. Less funky, but not less lovely. Maybe even more? I am very happy for you. All the best, Nicolas
Thank you ...
Interesting movement, I go to post some movement pics (Lemania?) when my watchmaker opens the case. Cheers, Nilo
Nice catch anywhere, but especially in a flea market
I replaced the metal bracelet on my all white pilot version with a natural python strap - definitely in the grey palette but probably not suitable for the blue dial. Enjoy it - I wear mine a lot - the increased precision for setting the alarm comes in han...

Hello, the original Omega leather band in mat black is the best. this is my Memomatic. Have a nice day, Primoz Draksler...
Primoz, Thank you very much....
Primoz, Thank you very much. I'm wearing, "as we speak", a similar strap with a 20mm buckle. Cheers, Nilo
Omega Memomatic leather strap 22-16mm
Yes, but original leather band on Memomatic was 22mm-16mm. Best Regards, Primoz Draksler
I understand ...
I'm maintaining the original bracelet (on a drawer) but for day to day the 22/20mm is more balanced on my wrist. Cheers, Nilo
Great catch, Nilo
Congratulations! I also love those late 60's early 70's Omegas. Not to every one's taste on this Omega forum, I still to recall from last time I posted a picture of one of them... Best regards Z'...
Cool memo you have ...
Yours has the dial markers more bold. Mine has the markers pale yellow. Cheers, Nilo
Congrats, Nilo! :)
Great find, my friend! This one has been on my radar for a long time... Funky, alarm - a typical "Blomman" watch! Best Blomman
You need one ...
(Now Vlad will kill me!!) The alarm is better designed than a regular JLC Memovox. 1) Is powered by the same automatic mechanism as the watch. 2) To avoid running out of power the alarm only triggers once an hour. 3) You can set not only the hour but the ...
Be careful. Vlad ...
May put a curse on us... I go to wear my Memo...vox tomorrow, just in case. Cheers Nilo
Not to worry, Nilo. A consiglieri always . . .
. . . affords another professional courtesy ;-) . . .
Nice catch and nice piece..
... Looking forward to more pictures of the watch after your small changes Best Hans
great piece Nilo
probably the best alarm watch of its day. auto winding alarm with setting to the minute. pretty good i think. sound isnt brilliant, but it does what its supposed to do. look forward to seeing your catch after its spa treatment. best G
Thank you. I loved your definition of ...
"The best alarm watch... ". So far I learned that the movement is pristine and only a small cleaning of the case and a new crystal is recommended. Stay tuned. Ahh. Good luck with your new (non 64) watch. Cheers Nilo
if you see another one...
if you see another one grab it for me will you please (not joking)
Yes ...
I go to try. Not a common one, in those conditions. But my "watch hounds" will try to chase one. Another point was the few quids that I paid. Cheers Nilo
