Here is a selection of cube boxes.
I will do 25 print of this picture, who may be interested contact me in dm!

Has anyone seen or have a original box for a Chronostop driver's version in a Mexico Olympic Box? I believe some standard 145.009 versions where delivered with a cube box and Mexico Olympic ensignia similar to the Seamaster box in the top right of @flqt-9000 's post. I have a driver's version of the Chronostop and have yet to come across a version that was delivered in a box other than the red one seen in this Black Bough offering (image below is from there, not my watch or box). Trying to figure out which version would be correct for the driver's version and the year mine was made.

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.
wow! that's a LOT of omega boxes!!
are you an omega box collector?

As said many times, the box suitable for your watch depends on the country and the year of the purchase. My opinion is that cube boxes were less common than others, but there was not a strict rule to couple boxes and watches.

Thank you for clarifying and understood that the region of delivery affected the type of box that was supplied. My main question was though if anyone has seen or have a original box for a Chronostop driver's version in a Mexico Olympic Box? I'm curious to know if the driver's version ever came in one of these boxes.

I am currently awaiting an Extract from the Archives for my watch to determine the region of delivery, as I was not the original owner not did I purchase it from them. I shouldn't have added the last sentence to my first post, was more just thinking out loud as I typed.

I haven’t posted much in this thread for a long time now. The reason being that it is now very difficult to find a box that hasn’t already been illustrated here. Thank to you guys !
Since some have complained that there boxes were empty, I tried to include some watches.
Here are some boxes seldom found, extra big rectangular boxes. They appear similar to the normal size classic but is bigger. Normal size is 57,5 X 142 mm. Big size is 65 X 174,5 mm. The height is similar with 2 mm. more for the big version. I already showed one in the thread. Those boxes will host big watches like big yellow 166.092 or 166.066 and others.


Now here is a big rectangular one for metal bracelet watches. It will be a nice alternative to the original SM 300 box.



Next is a box intended for pocket watches.



Eventually, a leather box for ladies watches.



F**k Putin and have a nice week !

It's actually a travel box that's designed to sit unobtrusively within a larger presentation box. A friend of mine recently got a Speedmaster Snoopy and it had a box just like that but blue in colour.

I recently purchased this beautiful Omega wooden box that can hold several watches. I have seen a few types of wooden boxes around in the used market but never one in this size. Does anyone have any idea what watches this box might have come with?

I have to say that although the current Omega lacquered blonde wood box that comes with the Seamaster line is far larger than it needs to be, it's one of the nicest presentation boxes that I've seen in the industry. The plastic box that came with my modern JLC is an embarassment by comparison.
