Hi all,

Seeking some info on this watch. It is a gold-plated Omega Seamaster Deville with automatic movement and date window. It is all original and in great condition -- the crown, caseback, movement and bracelet are all signed Omega.

It features what I gather is the rare (American made) KL6292 Ross/Omega front-loading case.

The movement is signed "Omega Watch Co. Swiss" and marked "563." I've included pictures that show what I gather is the serial number. Wondering if anyone knows when this watch was made and perhaps how rare it may be?

Thanks!

 

You can research by case number here: http://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-watches-database
You can determine movement date by number here: http://www.chronomaddox.com/omega_serial_numbers.html
Enjoy your research and your watch.

 

Thanks for the information, efauser! I have found though, that the first cited reference does not handle Ross cases, or I am not capable of using it properly. I have an Omega 550-based Seamaster Deville and the case "LL...." can't be handled as I suppose this database draws from Omega-cased watch records, not those cased by Ross in the US. If there is a Ross-incorporating database, it would be helpful, but in the interim the movement serial has sufficed.

 

Give it a shot. I promise there's info there for kl 6292. I wouldn't have sent you down that path if I hadn't looked first.

 

Thanks, the case is marked Ross LL6287-1 followed by a 7-digit serial number? No combination worked yet but I am not quitting!
It is a dial-loading 550 with a 2420xxxx serial number, in a 14K GF case, flat backside for engraving as presentation in 1967. Serial and date on case back seem to be in accord.
Again thanks and GO HAWKS!

 

I have the same watch from my father and I'm searching for a gold metal bracelet to replace the leather strap. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My case # is 165.0020.
