. . . but goodie this weekend, Abel. '58 ref 2989 SM chronometer, cal 505. I've probably seen thousands of second-generation Connies with this movement. Second-gen Seamaster chronometers? A dozen, maybe a few more. Including related reference OT2909, no m...

Their comparative rarity is a mystery . . .

. . . as they weren't all that much less expensive than contemporary Connies, and only slightly smaller. Frankly, I think they're more attractive than their upscale cousins. It's a great reference [2989 and OT2909] to hunt down. Doubtful more than a thous...
Ten years and a week ago today, Bill Sohne posted his ref OT 2909 . . .

Postscript: I've just seen three more confirmed OT 2909 examples . . .
By: Dr No : April 28th, 2019-18:29
. . . after a bit of research. One is an early - likely '56 - model with a unique dial and a cal 50 1 chronometer movement. So that makes six sightings in ten years. Still, not a whole lot, considering Omega made hundreds of thousands of watches during th...
Thanks for that insight Art...

I always find it interesting that so few turn up these days. Hope you have a good week.
Thanks for the fascinating history, Art!
By: KMII : April 27th, 2019-21:11
If I find one I will definitely let you know however at the moment that’s somewhat unlikely as my searching possibilities are severely restricted by my lack of time 🤷🏻♂️

Thanks Abel 😊

Not all the watches are for babysitting. It’s more that the task limited my options in taking fresh pictures 😉
Lovely World-time Abel!
