Hi everyone.

I bought this over a decade ago at an estate sale. Besides the strap/buckle, everything was original. Crystal (and crown) has the original Mercedes-like logo reflecting NIAD lock case.

Any idea what style buckle came with these originally? Did they have an Omega stamp? Or were they unsigned?

Crown is not original, FYI. It should be like this: https://omegaforums.net/threads/sea...-2577-2846-etc-vintage-flat-feet-logo.164319/

Regarding buckles, check this thread: https://omegaforums.net/threads/about-omega-buckles.37347/

It may very well be an original omega crown, but not an omega crown for this model.

@seekingseaquest is correct, these should come with the clover style crown

If it is as early as I suspect the crystal isn’t original either since they didn’t introduce the logo on the crystal until the mid 50s but who cares. To be clear, a non texted Seamaster, if it is a Seamaster, would not have a logo crystal from the factory.

The marking is different than the ones you posted. Were there different ikterations of the clover crown?

Yes, this is a later service example. An overview:

(Clockwise from top left: top view on the clover crown; the period-correct standard example with what’s called the “flat feet” logo; a modern service item; a rather uncommon “Naiad”-example)

Here’s a thread with some info on this reference, the 2577:
