Omega Seamaster Titanium 1940s
Hi Everyone,
I heard of a very special Omega Seamaster Titanium made in the 1940s, the case is made from a single piece of titanium with no screws. Do any of the experts here know about this watch or have pictures?
I love watches with Titanium cases and my understanding was that Citizen were the first ones to make a titanium watch but then I heard of this rare grail from Omega.

I thought so too. I think 60-70’s would be the correct era for a dive watch from Omega. Before that they looked like dress watches.
I found some more information in an article
A former Purist/well known collector bought one recently and said this about it " an elusive Omega Seamaster Titanium , made in the 1940s. “This watch has no screws on the outside at all. It’s a single piece made out of a metal that comes from the Cold Wa...
