I have always been a sucker for watches with uniform patina. This is an Omega I stumbled upon and went for it on an impulse.(I know impulse and vintage wqatch buys don't mix well together)But this one, it called out to me.It is a ref.2667-2 with a manual cal.420 which I'm told was produced in limited numbers(This ref. with the cal.420 was in production for only a year). Apart from the dial, I just love those dauphine hands. I understand that the cal.420 was used on later (early) Seamasters. Would be great to hear thoughts of my friends on this one. Sharing pics for my friends here.Cheers
That's a lovely watch, with a nice creamy uniform patina. Something similar happened to me this weekend: I bought this on impulse: And I dont even know what it is. We'll see when it arrives and I open the case. For the 170 euros I paid I cannot go terribly wrong, I hope
Wanted to know more about the manual wind cal.420 powering this watch.As I understand, this is not a Seamaster. Weren't Seamasters already in production in 1952?What I do know that Seamasters were powered by the very same cal.420 at some point of time.So what's the story..were these watches sold parallely to Seamasters with the same movement?
