    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......

    I'm guessing that the sales staff in Omega Botiques have quite a bit of discretion to choose which box to send home with their customers. They must have been feeling generous that day when they sent us home with this particular box.

    From an Omega Botique, 2015, United States.

    I think that is the correct box for the AT.

    This is one of my favorites:

    Here's another unique box:

    Entire box is Italian suede leather. Originally held an 18K Seamaster Calendar, as per the paperwork that came with the box (in Italian, of course).

    The Chronometre inside was also first sold in Italy according to Omega.

    Here's one very reminiscent of the Constellation boxes from the same period, although this one is a more bergundy colour.

    I don't know which watch it was originally for but my 352 Chronometer feels very at home there :)

    Hi Yann and welcome, you are the man!

    I lust for these but am leary of frauds. I saw some from the east that I want to avoid.
    I have a couple of old pieces that would look So Good in one of these!
    I wish there were helps or tells that would protect us from the crooks.
    I hope that @Mods has a good source!
    Cheers.

    This looks square in this picture but is a trapezoid shape in real life.

    A man's watch will comfortably fit although I have the feeling this was perhaps originally for a woman's watch.

    You guys are killing me with your boxes - are you all cardboard fetishists? I only like pinions.. :(
    are there others that don't care about boxes?

    When I first saw the title/head line I misunderstood the topic...

    I thought it would contain the ultimate/essential Omega collection box. I started directly (limiting myself to 10):
    Pre-moon Speedy
    Flightmaster (check)
    1000m Seamaster (check)
    An issued Seamaster 300
    Megaquartz Marine Chronometer Connie
    Connie Grand Luxe pie, white gold (sort of check... have a rose one but missing its bracelet)
    One early chronometer in rose gold
    Memomatic (check)
    A 168.023 Seamaster chronometer in gold (mini check - have steel)
    A triple calender moonfase in steel

    But - not making this post completly useless here is my only vintage Omega box - missing its inner tray:

    Now we are getting somewhere.
    Could you show some nice pieces in detail, like the flight master box, the mooncrater, the mexico olympic box and especially the two red boxes standing bottom right and left. Do you have info on them ?

    Not sure that this one qualifies as a "watch-box"?
