Different Seamaster S?

Hi,

Does anyone know why some seamasters have a different S? At first I thought one was a fake but I’ve seen that S several times now on vintage omegas.

Below photos of two examples:

Different fonts from different periods.

Your first ‘rounded S’ is typical of the mid 60’s and beyond. The ‘coat hanger as’ in your second pic is earlier.
There’s also a ‘rounded S’ from the 50’s with a larger bottom half to the S

There have been many many variations of Seamaster fonts over the years.

Both examples you show look fine to me.

Agree with @JimInOz 😀
Some of the variation in the “S” shape (in my collection) which I believe all of them are legit.

The 2 humped “m” and the 3 humped “m” are another quirk. And to be honest, this was a really odd sentence to type.
