SEAMASTER CAL. 333

SEAMASTER CAL. 333

 I have never posted before but have read many blogs about Omegas. Recently I acquired a Seamaster cal. 333. In trying to determine if the watch was authentic, I could find very little about the 333 in a Seamaster. The Omega’s vintage web site does not list the 333, only the 332 no regulator, and 30.10 RA T1 RG. with special regulator. I know of only one other 333 Seamaster and like my watch has (Omega Seamaster Automatic) only, and no Chronometer printed on the dial both have case numbers of 2515-2. I thought that the dial was a redial. The only true way to determine if a dial has been redone is to remove it from the watch and examine the dial marker tabs. The original dial will still have the splayed out ends where the tabs have been riveted with a punch. My watch has the original riveted tabs with no glue or solder. Also, I had never seen the font used on my Seamaster 333 until I read the post by diamondjim about the Seamaster cal 343. It appears that MSNWatch has the identical font on his Seamaster 343. Both of these Seamasters have the RG special regulator and no Chronometer printed on the dial. I know that Omega did a lot of things that we don’t  know about. It appears to me that they did produce Chronometer grade watches in Chronometer grade cases with Seamaster on the dial and WITH OUT CHRONOMETER printed on the dial. I will try to aid two pictures, one of my watch and the other is from a friend, both are Seamasters with the 333 movement and RG regulators.
