What books do you recommend for vintage omega dress watches? I'm interested in learning more about the Seamaster Deville and Constellation specifically.

 

Not a book, but here is the best source for information on the Constellation.

worth a look

 

Who needs a book when you have the above link. Saved many of us more money than any book has.

 

Sadly, there is no equivalent resource for the dress Seamaster range.

 

any idea whether it is possible to find a copy of that omegamania catalog?

I got mine off ebay but not cheap unless you are very patient

 

Interesting a guy in Italy seems to be selling a PDF version , maybe he could email it to you instead of mailing it on CDrom as he mentions

Would you recommend the omegamania book?

 

I find it useful. It is very good as reference material regarding examples of different models with great photos but not so good for general reading material I guess

 

Thanks a lot, @Gav1967 - I have ordered the pdf version!

 

Please let us know how the PDF version works out, I plan to have mine scanned but if it's already done I won't bother as it is quiet expensive to scan such books without ''taring'' it apart.

 

Will do!

 

No. A surprising amount of refinished dials were sold in that auction.

this thread discusses "From Seamaster to Seamaster: First 70 years of Omega Seamaster".
looks ike the sort of book you are chasing.

 

https://www.omegawatches.com/stories/capturing-70-years-of-seamaster-design

its on the Omega website, so its an official release I guess

 

I have the pdf version, quality & clarity is not the best. So ify ou're after the pics its not so good.






Also, the final auction results can be found here.

Read many reviews seems like it's more a picture/coffee table book, but there has been discussion of a Seamaster book that would be comming soon on this forum.

 

Thanks for the update for the PDF version is that from The seller in Italy or is it from another source ? , also thanks for the results as I have the book but not the results, cheers for that.

 

I can't remember, i bought it off ebay years ago, so it might be from him.
