Omega

Guys, does this look right? It has the later chrono hand, but according to an article, the last period's 4th version had the later chrono hand type. Also, what's the difference between this model and 145.012? Thank you all in advance!...  

.

the 105.012 is the first model to have a professional dial with applied Omega symbol. take a look at my previous post omega.watchprosite.com i appreciate from the pic you've given us the dials lume looks to be in excellent condition, but that could be due...

These are getting expensive now...  

Nice indeed! But I need cal 321 version as well......  

This is my 105.012 from 1963, the first year of production. It sports the initials A.C.P. on the dial, for Automovil Club del Peru. At the bottom it simply says "Swiss Made" without any reference to tritium. ...  

Thanks. But no "T SWISS MADE T" is it intentional?

Rei, i was going to comment on this 1963 'pro' model yesterday, but the kids were here and i was forcd to drive an Xbox :) my comment would have read that it is possible or even quite likely that this dial is a slightly later than original addition. the r... 

It's from 1965, cal. 321. I am finalizing the deal now. Thanks!!!

congratulations Rei, a landmark model being the first assymetric cased one. i look forward to seeing pics in the near future. do you also have a 105.003, the last round cased model. to me, having both of those from the same year is something special. for ... 

Really a collector's piece. Maybe someday?

Rei, my watch comes directly from Peru and I would be very surprised if somebody would have swapped the dial for one with "A.C.P."-printing at a later date. The letters are definetely "ex works" rather than added later. So I guess the watch was ordered wi... 

Anatol, it does show that we should never believe everything we read about Omega even if there's been a lot of research behind it. despite every piece of info i gleaned when i bought my 64 model i failed to discover that there were some pro dials made ear... 

I once saved the scan of an identical 105.012, also with A.C.P., form a fleabay-auction. So I guess that a batch of watches was made very early on, with Professional dials. But since I do not know any further information on this other watch, this is just ...  

Anatol, there are things we'll never know about Omega :) a lovely condition uncommon watch, enjoy it. best Graham

I can't wait to get mine...

nice dont you think? plain and simple with no writing, just doing the job its made for. ok folks another brain teaser for you. i have 3 321 cal Omegas. 2 speedies (105.003 and 105.012 both from 64) and a seamaster from 64. why do you think the seamasters ...  

. . . believe your Seamaster was afforded a chronometer rating, but that shouldn't be the reason, anyways. I'm stumped . . .

it is strange Art, the 321 calibre seems to be unadjusted for the huge quantities needed for the speedy, but adjusted to 2 pos for the much smaller numbers in the seamasters. not chronometer rated as you stated, just adj 2 pos. perhaps they wanted to sell... 

Hi G Agree.... I have a first generation Seamaster chronograph ck 2907 its 321 movement is also signed adjusted two positions... But I have not come across a Speedy with a movement with the same markings.. I have not come across a reason one way or anothe... 

Bill, did you acept this position as moderator because you love the torture of unanswerable questions :) i think we will never find out, but my hypothesese (read: guess) following Arts entry is probably closest. best Graham
