·Dear Forum Friends,
today is our National Day here in Sweden, so why not celebrate it with a new watch!
This one is a bit of a riddle for me...
I have done my research on it, and I actually had a hard time (for once…
)
The auction house didn't dare open up the watch, so I could not see the reference or the movement.
I had to search around and try to nail it down based on the few pictures I had from the auction house,
and with the info that I found.
My watchmaker is on a vacation, so I have to wait until he is back to get everything checked out.
But could it be a 2892, with the 284 movement?
And from the 1950´s?
And here is one of the questions, some that I have found have Seamaster on the dial,
and some dont have it….I wonder why?
Most of the ones I found here on the Forum and on the web have often numbers (3, 6, 9 and 12),
but this one does not have them.
The watch itself is in a decent condition,
the dial is a two-tone, with gold (colored) markers, hands and the Omega logo.
The dial has some marks/shades on it, but nothing that ”stands out”, and I still find it very pleasing.
Some lume loss to the minutehand.
A bit of dirt on the hands and dial....
The case has scratches, but no major dings or damages, it measures about 36 mm.
The caseback has a very faint waterproof stamp, with burn marks after a strap.
The movement is a manual wind, and it feel smooth when winding and adjusting the hands.
The crystal has scratches, but these can be polished away.
And here is the Biggy with this watch - the crown!
It has the naiad marking on it, and the question is if this is correct?
I have not seen this combo before!
Enjoy the pictures, and it would be nice if my questions could be answered!
Have a nice Day, and look out for them Swedish Flags!!
