well, it is really strange as you are right with your remarks about the 105.003
BUT look at this zoom! This is neither a reflection nor a missing bezel:



On the bezel it almost looks like there can be seen the engraved numbers. On the other hand, where is the borad arrow hand.....👎

I am leaning towards missing bezel, i think too much of the 10 and 2 lugs are visible for there to be a bezel?

rudimentary picture analysis... i know, angles are not exactly the same etc... but I think there is a big enough difference?



distance between red lines are the same in all three pics

Cicindela, that's cool, thanks! Also the hands should broader, when comparing so closely.

Congratulations to a fellow 2915-1 owner! Very nice example.
Are you sure about the tri-piece bracelet coming first? My research/belief is that they came after the 'traditional' type. I have had 3 or 4 7077's with dates from 1957 to 1959 stamped in them (of the traditional style), I also had a tri-fold dated 1963.
My 2913-1 came with a 'traditional' 7077 with no date stamp and an extract of the archives shows the watch was manufactured in 1957.
Anyway - its a fantastic example, nice and un-messed with. Do you have an extract of the archives yet?

hi achim, is it also a 2915-3? Dial is likely to be from a very late 2998 or an early 105.003 ( already with "T swiss made T" but still with a pretty curved 'S' in Speedmaster) and pushers diameter looks like 105.003 as well? 👎
The bezel has a fantastic fading! 🤩

it`s an early 2998 with the old bezel and the small pushers ( as far as i remember...). original band. it`s in the bank; have to check the mvmt. number ( from memory it is 1958/59 ) next time, i get things out....kind regards. achim

Superb, Achim, with the very sought after lollipop! Which sub-reference is that 2998? As far as I know the lollipop was latest found on the 2998-2, but in those times Omega was not that strict with things as the collectors are nowadays 😀

The Telemetre bezel gives a very different face to the whole Speedy.

i think it is 2998-3. i kept both the way, i found them. but the dials should be swapped for historic relevance. maybe one day......

Nice one. I think the 2915-3 was virtually identical to the 2998-1 and -2 save for the dial which had some subtle differences.

Yes, the dial has several differences and the alpha hour hand is different as well, according to my researches. A bit longer than the upcoming ones which actually makes the set looking elegant but sometimes a bid harder to read the time 😎

Agreed on the hour hand as well - the 2915-3 version almost touches the tip of the marker lume while for the early 2998 version there is about a 2mm separation from the lume.
