Omega

A while back I was lucky enough to purchase this refurbed cal. 910 w/ original B&P:



Unfortunately, it must have had its work done during the period prior to Omega's re-manufacture of the classic color coded pushers & crowns, as it had only the conventional versions mounted while the original dimpled versions in the baggy had lost their paint.

So, with some gentle prodding from the redoubtable Rrryan, I laid out a bit more money to have this classic Flighty brought back to its correct & colorful glory...





...which seems only fitting for such a great & iconic pilot's chronograph...







Hope you enjoy the pix and enjoy wearing your Vintage Omegas as much as I do!





Best,
T.

. . . in my humble opinion.  I'll be wearing my Mk II again to work today, but when I fire up my computer there will be a picture of a 911 Flightmaster  set in the background  . . .  admiringly, Art

Hey Tom


Nice catch !!!

Here is a  one pusher chronograph that was issued to the RCAF in the 1950s...




Good Hunting

You are so fortunate, that it comes with box and paper.

It is extremely rare for us to get the watch in full set here.

The polishing work I think could be improved, the person has rounded off all the edges.

Congrats again, T!

...leads me to believe the work was down some time ago to an original case (along with the installation of the non-colored pushers & crowns), as opposed to being a replacement NOS case, as I suspect is the circumstance with my cal. 911...



Note: Inner bezel has since been replaced with a perfect example.

Sometimes our vintage watches will be not quite perfect...but often that is simply a sign of time & tides and I can live with that.
Cheers,
T.

. . . gazing at Flightmasters, especially the solid gold model that I know I'll never see again. My compliments on your impeccable taste in watches . . . cordially, Art

the main thing you've thise beautiful piece. 
Anyway, if later you wish, some polisher can easily do a better job.
Enjoy!

Hi Tom,

That's a great watch & one of my favourite Omegas of all time.

I see you swapped the pushers & by the look of one of your pics, you swapped "single dimple" pushers for the "split pushers".

 

I have yet to see any Info or even a conversation on this subject, but I reckon the pushers that WERE on your watch are original. I reckon Omega had different colours for the red or yellow chrono hands, then some bright spark had the idea of using common "split pushers" with BOTH colours on them.

I have only ever seen pushers with the "single dimple" on very early 910 flightmasters.

 

If you ever want to seel your box, gimme a shout ;-)

...I believe the pushers in the baggy, which I assume but don't know for sure are original, have the split dimples:



...so I would be interested in seeing these "single dimples" that you speak of.  I have never heard of them prior to now.
All the best,
Tom
