Is that an original? I doubt it. Inside case back looks like a fake to me

 

Its original, had confirmed with omega ,its a part of very small series of omega swiss collection.Below is the mail from omega to me.

Hello Manish,

According to our archives, this timepiece was produced during 1976 up to 78

Yes you right, as Marco Richon said the dial should be original because as indicated "Ostrich" through our archives

We don't possess any similar model to the one yours and if you wish to sell your watch to our Museum, we thank you very much for your kind offer towards the OMEGA Museum but we regret to inform you that, for the moment, we are not interested in buying this timepiece!

We wish you a good day and hope if you come to Switzerland to enjoy visiting our Museum!

Sincerely yours,



PS: Unfortunately, we cannot know how many others OMEGA were from our Swiss Collection...

Thnx and the size is around 40 mm ,looks like a made to order watch for some king,

 

Fascinating watch. Can we get wrist pictures?

 

Cool piece, beautiful in a way, and really odd, looks like custom work for someone with a bit of gold fever...

Maybe this guy?



Is the dial made out of genuine Ostrich???

 

Hi Manish,

What a unique piece you have there. What is the movement? Cal 10XX I guess? Could you post a better movement picture?

Not to my taste, but a very unique Omega in deed.

 

Thanks.

 

Thanks, will try to post some better wrist scans later.

 

May be

 

Sorry for a few more questions. What is the size? Is it comfortable to wear? The buckle on the back looks like it would make it uncomfortable.

 

Thnks and you are right everything is unique in this watch,looking for some info.but couldnt find anything except from omega museaum.

 

Thanks the cal. is 711 .

 

Thanks.
