Just stumbled upon this in an eBay listing.

According to the extract this 1975 145.022 came with an 1039 bracelet.

I thought by this time (and the chart that's floating around the web) we would already be deep in 1171 territory here. Any thoughts?

Cheers,

That's weird. The bracelet or strap is added by the dealer, so my understanding is that this is not identified in the Extract, as after the watch head leaves the Omega factory they have no control on what it is ultimately fitted to. Is there a market for fake Extracts now?

 

Apparently, omega does have some records of bracelets.. Fratello has an article describing it.

Oh, who knew?

 

With a movement serial that low, that watch may be a -71 which were still available with 1039 bracelets. They were produced concurrently with the -74 and a Jan 1975 production isn't out of the realm of possibility - might have been that the case / bracelet were already produced and the movement was just married to it later on.
