I do kind of like nice medallions in contrasting colours on casebacks, and this got me thinking. I'm aware that Omega only seem to use these in a kind of limited way on mainstream models such as the Connie observatory



Seamaster hippocampus



and my current favourite - the Titane Polaris


Leaving aside limited editions such as Snoopy Speedies, and Olympic issues, did Omega use contrasting caseback medallions with any regularity on other models?

P.S. Apologies for the quality of the photos

 

I've never seen the golden hippocampus on a Seamaster before, which model is that? Looks great

In regards to caseback medallions, Longines is (was) the leader of the pack here, IMO.

 

I really love the caseback medallions, they are for the wearer, a little bit extra that nobody else sees but you.

 

I snagged the top two images off the net, the third is mine, but the Seamaster can also be found here https://omegaforums.net/threads/arrival-the-goldcap-specials-edition.10080/

As for the Longines - please show

 

Here you go... Bit grubby but you get the idea....Note to self, must clean watches

 

lovely - with a case back like those L's - who needs a dial ;-)

 

The Kon Tiki and Grand Seiko had some cool medallions back in the 50's through the 70's.

 

Very impressive, makes you want to wear the watch inside out to show off the caseback...

Right

Hi everyone.

Have you ever seen this medallion before?. Is it original or fake?. It’s supposed to be the one in the caseback of this solid gold Geneve with caliber 1481. Some help...
