im new to this forum though I’ve always loved omega watches, owned a few and presently enjoy a 60s seamaster.
Recently i came acoss this unusual piece. I’m quite sure it’s a printer’s block for an omega ad.
Does anyone know more about this kind of thing or has anyone seen anything like it?
I’ve included a reverse pic so it can be read more easily.
Thanks

First time I have seen anything like this but really interesting

 

Wow, that is cool. Would love to see what it prints.

 

In days of yore, that item was called an advertising mat.

 

Nice. Never seen anything like this.

 

Same watch in a Canadian early 20th cetury catalog...

 

Absolutely never seen anything like that?? Where did you find it?

 

Nice ad. Thanks for sharing!

 

Near an old dump in southern Ontario, Canada

 

Is it made out of bronze?

 

Cast in lead and plated in copper or bronze. Very weathered though
