Never seen this before but can't imagine someone "faking" something like this.

Kind of cool.

Interesting… So it’s a reference tool for figuring out which years share the same calendar? Lots of uses for that. I’m guessing that a different company called Omega produced this?

OK it's a different company you say but why does it have the same omega mark Omega symbol is that not going against omega copy rights

Omega has to share their logo with the Greek alphabet



Can’t copyright/trademark an alphabet….I’m sure Rolex would try though

Willing to bet there is a copyright on the edge the frame is probably covering.

It is a real Omega calendar that has nothing to do with Omega watches. Just like these other random things I found on the internet.



Monday’s child is fair of face,
Tuesday’s child is full of grace,
Wednesday’s child is full of woe,
Thursday’s child has far to go,
Friday’s child is loving and giving,
Saturday’s child works hard for his living,
And the child that was born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, good and gay

Thay doesn’t sound like something James Bond would say.

“And you can feel this extra size and heft working for you on the road. It's solid and steady. Roomy.”

Sounds like me after lockdown 🙁

My dad had a 1980 Olds Omega...think it was a 2.8 litre V6...not a car I miss.

His 1972 Cutlass, with the 350 cid "Rocket" V8 on the other hand, was quite the car...

Don't have the best research skills but here goes nothing. Harry S Blythe was born to Sara and Richard, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundered and thirty six, as we say behind the eight ball. You see Harry came into this world with a few disabilities most notably the lack of most of his digits, in fact he only had one finger on each hand. Children can be especially cruel and Harry was often the target of more than a few classmates. While learning about the days weeks months and years the lesson turned to the often misunderstood leap year. The children were all a clamor and had many questions to which the teacher answered something about the sun and how long it takes to around. The kids even more confused pressed. Mrs. Peck, that was her name, shouted, "children, quite down, all you have to do is take this year of 1940 and add 4 then again and again, see you can use your fingers!" Well you guess it that day more than any other, Mr. Blythe would later reflect, shaped the course of his entire life. There were many ups and downs, countless set backs, and naysayers. And as the years ticked by Mr. Blythe even began to doubt himself. Then like a whale breaching a still dark ocean, Harry was inspired and in 1986 unveiled his masterpiece which he simply called "The Omega Almanac". While accepting an award from his local Elks Club he held his hand up high and quipped, "Mrs. Peck, now all you need is one finger!" This my friends is a little bit of the vast history of this piece only available if you know where to look.
