Another rarely seen Seamaster, not even in the Omega database.

Caliber 491 19-jewels ca 1958

Oversize 36.1-mm, note the applied figure at 6 o'clock WITH sub seconds, not possible with a regular 34-mm case.

Completely un-molested, still sporting its original crystal, but not sure about the crown which appears to be from a Constellation, however since this is the first one of this ref I've latched onto it could be correct.

Anyone else have one of these?

 

Whaddaya know - it isn't cut off. Nice watch. Interesting patina too. Was the dial cleaned?

 

No, the dial is just as it showed up in my mail box, all I've done is clean the crystal.

 

Hello, I have one! I purchased it at an auction in FLA. Ref numbers 2857-2856 1-SC, 491 movement. 19 Jewels, 15890493 dates to 1956
I don't have good pictures. I will try to photograph. My has one difference, the dial is marked with Omega symbol, automatic, then Speedmaster.
On another post, someone said it was redialed. I not so sure. They also said the ref numbers weren't right. I was so glad to see your post because I do believe mine is real. The movement is beautiful. the back case is marked Seamaster at the top and Waterproof on the bottom. Any thoughts on the Speedmaster dial? Also, Omega has responded that they don't know about the ref numbers like you've mentioned in your post.

You have a good keen eye for these original and untouched examples. Nice find!

 

Good looking and good size watch..... Any member with an example of ref 2807?

 

I think I have an excellent example of the 2857-2856 in 36mm.

 

but unfortunately with a re-done dial...

 

In the interest of furthering my education, can you please explain how you reached your conclusion?

 

completly wrong font...

 

I would never have noticed that. Is there any chance you can provide an example of what the correct font should be?

 

Hi there - can anyone offer any opinions on this?
The serial reads 2857-2856-3 SC
Thanks, Ollie
