Omega

I have a couple to share. The first is an 18k yellow gold case. This is a very uncommon case design with fancy Grand Luxe type lugs. A Journey Through Time shows this watch on Page 271. It was launched in 1957 and presented at the Universal Exhibition of Brussels in 1958. It has a full rotor Calibre 471.

Then I have another in a stainless steel case with textured dial. The SS one is quite a bit larger and houses a Calibre 344.

Here is one more picture of them both together.

. . . because mrsnak and I were having this very conversation recently. I don't have one to share, but I'd love to see what the community has in store for us. Very nice pair, btw, and I hope to see them in the metal someday . . . cordially, Art

Dr. No and I spent a good amount of time on Sunday eying a rectangular Omega vintage at a local NAWCC event. This one wasn't the right one, but it sure put them bacck on my radar.

Hello hockey,

Thanks for sharing.  Which is your favorite?

Hi Phil, as you did not restrict the choice to wristwatches only - here are my square Omegas... A pair of jumping seconds (dead beat) 8 days chronometers - hope they will count

And here comes an early "square cushion" example...

kind regards Erich

used to belong to one of my friends, who then asked me to organise a deal with the museum in Bienne. Now on display there - equipped with caliber 23.7 and called "montres pendulettes".

nice specimens Achim! 

I like particularly the modest 24 hr indication on #1 and the art deco style of #3.

cheers,  Ben.

the " winged" case. it´s a beauty and unmolested. cal.20F. number 2 is a very long stainless steel version. kind regards. achim

and as people are showing tanks as well as squares i'll rain my archive folder after my current square omega.

the Museum Cosmic. this has to be one of the most difficult watches to photogrph and the glass is domed and curved down to each corner so there always seems to be reflection. the rest are old pic from before i had a digi cam. 

enjoy

Although not exactly square, this cushion-form model (carré galbé) is from 1931.  Inside ticks a 26.5 SOB caliber.

The black dialled one is a 23.4SC from 1937.

regards,  Ben.
