On why this watch might be considered special?

 

It's an Omega watch and because of that, it's special

 

Is this a game? Oooh fun I'll play. Is it a pre-deville? Seamaster text says late late 50's or 60-61 with a manual 6xx caliber inside? One of the first of its kind?

That's my guess...

 

Caliber 560?

 

BINGO!!!
That was fast!

 

I need to get better pictures, this kleerback is fresh off the boat

 

A "Kleerback"!!! Missed one of these (sold at a very reasonable price) at the last Labor Day weekend NAWCC Regional Mart in Chattanooga, TN It was not nearly as nice an example, but had potential with a new dial.

Here is listing on eBay.

Also, an old forum thread shedding light on this model, which some believe were only salesman samples.

Ahh, how many kleerback's are seamaster only models?

 

Not sure I know the answer, only to say that iv'e seen plenty of examples of both versions.

 

Make sure to take pictures of the inside caseback!
