Omega

Team, Allow me to start detailing my previous post ("A nice surprise ...") by starting with a mysterious one. Vintage watches, in special Omega, always brings to us surprises and debate. The one that I present today follows this rule by having a strange d...  

made for the Japanese market .. also with " banana " lugs some years after ( early 70s ) . this older version is much rarer than the other one .
