2915-1 Case stamp - crescent moon

jwatch · Oct 1, 2020

I've had two Omega Speedmasters and both have had a crescent moon stamped on the underside case lug - top right. There's a 2915-1 on this forum with the same case stamp. Does anyone know what the crescent moon stamp represents and what references it is on? I'll add an image.

Many thanks

Maybe it's because it's been to the moon?

Maybe a import mark. Where did you get it?

I was also thinking an import mark, although in the past when I saw a crescent I think it was a german import and it had a house with it too, and it wasn't on the lug like that. Interesting.

Do you have more pics of the watch? Any chance you know where it was delivered to?

I don’t know where it was delivered to - I’ve ordered the extract and am waiting for a reply. I’ll post the link below to the forum watch. Also a screen shot of the OmegaForums watch.

The watch you just posted a pic of was delivered to the USA as per the import stamp on the movement.

Ok thanks. The first pic I posted is my watch, which I’m waiting for the extract. I bought it in the US - so probably the same situation. So the crescent moon means it’s a US import and not used for other countries?

No. Jim was referring to the OXG mark on the movement, which is the US import code for Omega.

Most flags with a crescent also have a star, so those aren't right.

But, the flag for Republic of Maldives does not. So... possible?

Ok - thanks. My watch doesn’t have the OXG stamp. Here’s a pic of mine without the stamp. Another question and apologies for my limited knowledge - do all of these types of motifs as stamps on cases represent import countries? Also what era or date period was this common?
Many thanks

Perhaps more generic pics of your 2915?
