A lovely watch to wear every day and I'm only surprised that they seem to be so rare.
I know I'm late chiming into this thread and it's actually my first post on the forum but I bought one of these last week and it's a ref 48403100 with the silver hands on the silver face. It can be a little tricky to read the time compared my other watches but somehow that can be forgiven. It's definitely not a sports watch and I find it quite elegant but I'm just amazed at how little information there appears to be on the internet.
This is by far the newest watch in my collection of roughly 30 vintage watches and I was under the impression it was all stainless steel, so I'd be very happy if it turns out to have a white gold bezel. I have all the original documentation including the bill of sale, boxes and warranty card. It was first sold in 1997 and is an 861.
My 861 has been with an Omega accredited watch repairer now for twelve days awaiting an assessment and I'm really missing not having it here but equally I want to know for sure whether the movement needs any work. This wasn't the only watch I took in but it's the only one I'm impatient to have back on my wrist.
I positively hate the doodads, beads, bands, ropy dopey stuff on the wrist. Get rid of it.
Mine, a recent acquisition, also says hello. I love this relatively simple, but interesting watch!
