Did you get the information directly from omega?


Yes, the document you see in the post is an extract of the archives, direct from Omega.
I know it came by way of Canada, because I bought the watch from a seller there. 馃榾

Shot glass?

Seriously, I'm guessing its one of those things that make your guitar sound wobbly.

Come to think of it, that also works for a shot glass....

Do you have any idea on the production numbers of these?


I've read a few things but not sure what to believe. Maybe Dennis would know?


The Conquest Power Reserve was released in 1959 and was made into 1967 if memory serves. Stainless examples aren't rare, but finding one in top condition is hard due to the dial being easily aged. Not sure about production numbers. Steel is at least 10 times more common than gold. Never saw one in 14K - only 18K, leading me to believe none of the solid gold models were cased in NY for the US market.

Alex / Dablitzer's watch is either a later model (post 1961) or has a replacement crown. It looks like a 30L type crown, which makes me think it is a replacement for the scalloped original. Some of these Power Reserves, particularly later in the model's lifespan, didn't have medallions on the back.

Nicely done Alex!

Congratulations! And had you expressed any reservations by posting beforehand, those of us on the forum would have gladly enabled and pushed you forward if called for. Clearly you need no such motivation. Absolutely AWESOME watch in every way.
