Lets make the ultimate Omega box thread !

ericmtl · Mar 30, 2019

And finally here is one last variant of the brown box with the words: Timing the Olympics since 1932 but I could never find out exactly which watch came with it, my supposition is must have been a solid gold Seamaster special edition for the Olympics but I could never confirm this, even asked Omega and they could not confirm any information., If anyone can add more information about any of these boxes it will be much appreciated.

If any one has a green or blue Omega box for sale, I would be interested. Thank you.

Lets make an exhaustive Omega box thread !
As I live in Belgium, the boxes I own are Swiss made and are different from those made for the American market.
You will notice, I am not good at pictures.
Please complete this thread with pictures of boxes you own or information on boxes displayed in this thread.

Old style generic box.

golden line differences

different pushers, metal, red painted, covered with leather

this type of box has no writings on the back.

1952 Seamaster. Original outer and inner boxes. I believe the inner box was specifically designed for that Seamaster. Can you confirm that.

this is a great thread!

A contemporary '67 Constelation box is on my 'to get' list at some point -but those red and green panel-top Seamaster boxes are fab.

The 'Deco' Omega and Tissot boxes do come up now and then on the 'Bay and at auction in the UK

I think I speak for everyone when I say that @omegastar needs to start a new thread -with the same boxes containing all of the watches that belong in them......

If you are talking about the panel-topped box, then yes, it was designed to be supplied with the Seamaster.
They are smaller than the smooth Constellation boxes. (More square than rectangular on plan)
But they weren’t necessarily marked Seamaster inside the box lid as your earlier inner box is.

Here is one that I don’t think has appeared in this thread before - not sure what to make of that!

My date at six fits ok.

I have this box that measures 10x10x4.5 cm. I saw a similar version posted on the first page of this thread, but this one does not have seamster printed in the lid. Is this one also for Seamaster?

I believe it is.
If you look at mine ( 3 posts above) it is a later version.
White inner, later Omega symbol, non-removable watch holder and ‘high precision’ added but has panelled top.
Used to house an 18k Seamaster but kindly donated by a generous member and now houses my 18k Connie instead.
