The inclusion of unexceptional models in any Omega collection . . .
. . . is an occasion to be celebrated. I tend to collect obscure references, but there are a few common pieces that are enjoyed every bit as much as the rarer specimens.
This early '40s R17.8 . . .
. . . doesn't even have a reference number. Likely retailed in an American department store during the war, or just after.
Utterly ordinary, but one of my favorites nevertheless.
Thanks for sharing, Thomas!
Best,
Art

Nice surprice
Hi! This has arrived, got it from an auction where there were no interest A not so common reference BK14757-62-SC with a caliber 600 from 1962, 35 mm. w/o crown. Cleaned up nicely Auction picture: After cleaning:...
Great find....
I'm sure if your pics were in a catalogue it would have had a lot more interest...!! Cleaned up really well. Andy.

Even though an antique, it runs . . .
. . . very well. Isn't it amazing how these vintages still perform when properly tended?
Lovely piece
I am quite partial to gold capped three handed Omega manual winds from the 60's. In my collection I have a 1961 gold capped Seamaster with cal 265 powering it. This is a watch I would never sell and often find myself wearing. Great pick up!
