krustybrand Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Picked this up cheap on a whim yesterday. The grey dial is gorgeous! The date misalignment is due to the date changing over about 2 hours (not instant) starting about when the pic was taken. Sorry for the poor photo. I just plunked it onto my Omega Red Book and snapped a quick one. The red on the crystal is a reflection from something or other (lens flare). It was a private deal from a long time salesman at my favorite dealer. Favorite because whan I asked once for a Breitling buckle, all they had was a used one, so they gave it to me free. When I went in later looking for 2 more of a different size, they removed them from in stock straps and sold them to me for the correct Breitling price ($25 each).

chrgod Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Cute watch, simple and understated. Vintage Omegas are cool! Are there any markings on the caseback? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustybrand Posted November 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Are there any markings on the caseback? No markings whatsoever. I'll have to pop the caseback off to find out more about it. All I know is that the movement is 28,800bpm and it's running 1-2sec per day fast depending on position. In other words, it's running perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillorin Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I definitely dig these old Omega's. I have a few Seamaster's that look similar. What caliber movement is inside? 565? I just wish there were larger one's around... Guessing this is about 34mm? Looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's immaculate - no hint of corrosion at the case/back junction as you find on a lot of old watches. It's a Caliber 1010 and the movement serial number dates it from 1979. Case is 166.0202 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
