My 145022-69 bought from the original owner came with this box, so I asume it is the original, though it is made in Sweden...!?
It was explained in my last response: the leather covers the hinge on the older boxes - the hinges on the newer boxes are blank. the box of the OP is of the old type but with broken leather...
Great idea to document as closely as possible which watches were sold in which boxes! There’s clearly a market for the boxes so helping people know the one their watch belongs in is a great service!
Interesting thread about the right box for the SM 300. https://omegaforums.net/threads/suitable-box-for-seamaster-300-ck2913.67460/
Late 1960s Constellation box which, according to Desmond’s article on Constellation boxes, housed cal. 564 and 751 models.
Hi all, Would anyone happen to know what box would likely have been delivered with a 1938 33,3 CHRO? Many thanks!
3 boxes i wouldn't expect to have and which came in with watches i bought here and there, so i adopted them ;o)
The first two are from my Mark II but not sure what watch came in the aluminum box as I acquired it without a watch. Anybody have any idea?
Luckily there's no smell application on the forum so we don't smell these rotten boxes ... as these were never made to last !
Happened upon this artifact recently. Not mine. Blue velvet with a pale blue satin lining in the lid. Originally for a wrist watch. I’d say somewhere in the 1930s to 1940s decades?
