Do you know what a 145.022-69 speedy would have came in? Or if either of these boxes are it?
Interested in finding one for it.
Thanks
Another one with outer box as well. Same seller

Nothing new just playing around with watches and boxes. Only ones I know are proper matches are Speedy and one of the Constellations others are bit of a guess.

1501 was standard for Speedmasters at that time they come up often on bay often from Japan

Could someone tell me what boxes was used to house the Flightmaster 145.026?

Was it only the colourful box with the Flightmaster watch print on it or were other boxes used as well?

Hi guys,

Is there any possibility that I could complete the set of my Seamaster 2627 with this box below? Looking at the first posts on this thread, it seems like this box was sold with the models from the 60s, so it wouldn’t fit mine (1950 serial), but I wanted to double check with you.

Thanks in advance,
Enzo

Looks more like a SM300 box to me

Hi Forums Friends!

I am trying to sort out some of my Omega boxes, and I sadly didn't put a note in it when the watch arrived…
And I can not remember which box went to which watch….
Some Speedys and some Seamasters..

So I have here 3 boxes, from the left:

ref 5501
no ref
ref 1501, according to the MWO book, this one could be for a Speedy?

Any ideas?
Maybe not the most easy task, but I always appreciate the help!

Cheers and have a lovely Saturday evening!

Nice ones with good holders and outer boxes! My thoughts

1501 Speedy
No number middle one prob speedy very similar
5501- dealers choice, I would guess SM.

But it’s hard to tell for sure.

My understanding is that boxes were often chosen at point of sale and also varied according to region and country.
So picking a watch and finding the box, or the other way around, is often speculation except for some common matches such as 1501 and Speedy.
Unless it’s a one owner watch who kept the box of course.
Others here know more than I.

I’m after some info on my vintage 165.024 original box I have just purchased ( after looking at the ad for 12months )

It still has its ST 165.024 sticker

I am yet to find any history or any other sold references / adds regarding this EXACT box as finding another with the YELLOW fabric and the CIRCLED hippocampus seamaster logo inside the lid ( assuming the missing insert is yellow fabric also )

I want to replace the insert with an original if someone has one or the easier option would be to have one made but any history on the particular box at all would be awesome ?? Photos of my 165.024 that will be going into it once it the box shows up ( should have been today )

Does anyone have a red / blue world service / america's cup box that isn't self-composting?
It seems like every example out there is in a similar sorry state

Hi everyone, I've been going through this thread looking for a similar box, but all the ones I find are taller.

I found an Omega box in a relative's drawer. I think it might be from a late 1960s/1970s Omega Constellation, possibly for a ladies' watch. It measures 42mm in height. It also came with this booklet, but I haven't found any references to a specific watch in it.

Any opinions?

Constellation boxes were generally marked as such, but not always. I agree that your box may be for a higher end ladies watch. No clue which one though.

I have same box- Speedy clearly too large box wont close- I suspect early-mid 60's Seamaster on a bracelet with 34-35 mm case, but hard to know without a complete one owner set.
