·Thank all of you for contributing to this thread. I am relatively new to OF and consistently amazed at your depth and breadth of knowledge of both the time pieces themselves and existence of documentation to learn more. Bottomless source of knowledge.
Thanks you OF!
Thanks you OF!

·I am really new to the forum and actually joined to read up on 1040 movement watches. Never had imagined to find such a comprehensive write up on those watches! Thanks for sharing!

·Here's your chance to own a very rare and very attractive Seamaster 176.007 in solid 18k gold (I have no affiliation with this auction house):
https://www.cortrie.de/uhren/detail...-gegangen-baujahr-1972?back=/uhren/&start=200
Auction is on March 16 and the starting bid is 8,000 euros!!😲
I will say this appears to be the nicest of the very very few of these I have seen. Here is the Google Translation of the lot description:
Approximately 38 × 42mm, 18K gold, screw-down Seamaster base, ref. 176.007, automatic movement caliber 1040, movement number 34683620, gold-colored dial with striking indexes, date, original hands, black leather strap with omega pin buckle, probably original Omega label tag, very good condition, little worn, cleaning recommended, since last revision date unknown. The 176,007 has never gone into mass production in massive 18K gold. Only a few years ago, only one specimen was known, namely the presenter to Albert Piguet on the occasion of his services to Lemania, which is now in the Omega Museum. In the meantime, it is known that there have been a few gold additions besides this watch, but they were only present watches for special customers and never officially came on the market!
I figured this thread would be a good place to preserve this one for posterity (too pricey to put in the recommended vintage Omega thread).😀

·After a few years researching and chasing down Omega 1040 automatic chronographs, I’ve finally completed the set – at least one example of each case reference in each material. Either I’m the only one insane enough to do it or the only one willing to post his or her insanity online.
From top to bottom:
Seamaster 176.001 in steel
Speedmaster Mark III Professional 176.002 in steel (I also have a silver dialed non-Pro not pictured)
Seamaster “Big Blue” Diver 176.004 in steel
Seamaster TV Dial 176.005 in steel
Seamaster TV Dial 176.005 in 20 micron gold plating
Seamaster 176.007 in steel
Seamaster 176.007 in 20 micron gold plating
Seamaster 176.007 in 18k solid gold
Speedmaster Mark IV Professional 176.009 in steel
Seamaster Yachting 176.010 in steel
Seamaster Yachting 176.010 in 20 micron gold plating
Speedmaster 125 Chronometer 378.0801 in steel
These aren’t the most sought after watches from Omega’s history, though some are pretty hard to find if not flat-out rare, and I find them to be quite beguiling. A couple more group shots:

··Curious about this text thingy below his avatarFantastic gathering! 👍
I definitely understand the desire to complete a "set". I used to be motivated by the same approach.
These days i'm more about what I would actually like to wear, so I'll stick to my 176.007 and maybe add a 176.004 at some point.

·That is one amazing collection Andy.
I’m a huge fan of the 1040 family and long time reader of your Cal. 1040 pages - thanks!
I will pretty certainly never complete a set for similar reasons as Joe, and I would not want to part with all other watches to get these. But there are one or two I’m still looking for now and then.

·Wow guys! These are some great Omega's and Tissot's.
One of my favorite watches is my Tissot Navigator 45509 with a Lemania 5012 inside. Very fond of this watch, especially the dial.
I really love the 70's feel and look of this watch and the size is perfect for me. I'm currently looking into an Omega 176.007 (that's how I found this topic); what a fabulous watch that is. Maybe...someday....
