amazing piece.
it seems like it's harder to find no date models in the vintage world w/o emptying the wallet more so
could this scratch the omega trilogy rail/seamaster itch?
Tradition made some good stuff. Some of their divers get very positive reviews. I like some of their chronographs. Here’s mine.

Thought I would just update- brought the Tradition to my guy for a look-over. Said it had been recently serviced, was very clean, seals were all fresh including the double sealed crown. It was running at 16/s and he adjusted it to within 3 sec. polished the crystal and cleaned out some of the funk under the crystal.his comment- this is a very well made watch.
Feel like a got a nice deal on this one
Hello, I'm the one who sold you this watch. It still looks fantastic and I'm glad that you're enjoying it. Was a fun pickup that I enjoyed for a couple of years before moving it on for something else. Certainly an uncommon piece.
At first I was like, "ugh, who's this necromancer?" and then I realized it's yet another whimsical connection being made on this fantastic forum.
Hey Anthony, welcome to Omega Forum! Still have it and love it- it’s a staple in my collection
I always wanted to see it on a bracelet. While I'm a fan of Tropic's, the 18mm wore a bit small and sweaty. Looks great! I have a feeling I may never come across another one in as good of shape as this, but that's ok because I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it.

Yesterday this guy popped up-
The things that stick out to me, besides the dial design, is the “Switzerland” instead of “Swiss Made” and the “T < 25mc” which I have never seen on anything other than a Rolex.
Can anyone shed any light on who may have possibly made this watch by the case or dial design? And does anyone have another one like it- Even from a different brand but with the same case & dial?
We have to assume that the buyers for these national chain stores were choosing designs from common catalogs…where are those?
Would love to see such a catalog. There are so many "stock" cases and dials that floated around in the 60's and 70's. Along with that a lot of non-descript or generic sounding names from very insignificant brands. I suspect a lot of these were mail-order type brands.
I always joke about the watches from one of the many Paul’s. Give it a European sounding name and it must be fancy!
Yes! The Paul's, hilarious. If "Paul" is too fancy, you can always go with "Pat".
This is the Rodania that's on the way to me. The dial is also pretty similar to some of the ones above, but the blue dial is what convinced me in the end, because I haven't seen anything similar before. Anyone?
