Omega

Had this watch for about 20 yrs now and never really identified what kind of Omega it was. I know it’s not a seamaster. Honeycomb? Anyone know the year? Guessing 1950’s. Anyways....always get compliments in it probably due to the strap. Thanks!!!

Appreciate the info!

Anyway I love your Omega, it has all one can like in a vintage gold watch, lots of charm!

I also like the other watches in your box. What is the chronograph to the left?

Best.

The chrono to the left is my Blancpain Flyback Chrono. JLC next to that. The Omega tends to get a little lost in that group but I hold it near and dear to my heart as it’s been with me quite a while now.

Congrats for your nice collection! I also like the Black Bay Black!

Cheers 🍻

Oh yeah....have another vintage Omega that I am unsure of the model. Please advise of you know.

. . . so my level of awareness is lower than it should be.

. . . of the Swiss Ω ref 2865, with a cal 490/491 movement.

Can you tell if it's a full rotor movement, or a bumper?

Thanks,

. . . were the full rotor successors to bumper calibers 342/344.

Appreciate the info! Not too sure on the movement. Thinking bumper too. The gold one was my fathers and never wear it. The other gets wrist time maybe once a month.

. . . (or, more appropriately, oscillating weight) coming to a full stop, then it's an earlier reference.  Please confirm it's a bumper.

I'm off for the rest of the day, hope to revisit this thread tomorrow.
