·Hello all. A question for you – did Omega give stars to non-Constellation watches? I ask because there’s this one on Ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254971592398
I’ve posted a couple of pictures of the dial, movement and case below.
It’s a 2894, cal 267, 18k case, movement 16xxxxxx so dateable to c.1958. It has the same movement, gold content, and age as the Tresor (OT 2894) on the archive website: https://www.omegawatches.com/en-gb/watch-omega-tresor-omega-ot-2894 although the dial is not especially close.
Searching for the reference on this site, I found by chance one that had a similar dial: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-ref-2894-1958.73079/
It’s the star that puzzles me. It’s not a Connie, or claiming to be one, and the similar one posted above didn’t have a star. Nor do other 2894s I've looked at in a quick Google search. My first uneducated assumption would be a redial, but it seems a strange thing to add just for fun. I know nothing about this reference, this isn’t a watch I’m looking to buy, and I’m not looking for an evaluation of it - it just seemed to raise an interesting question.
Thanks.
