Here are a couple that I didnt see posted:



Made of aluminum with gold Omega logo insert



One is for Ranchero, the other for Seamaster, I even have a third one that spells High Fashion, would have preffer it said Speedmaster.



Insert is made of molded plastic, red velvet top. Pat Pend script on the bottom. Im not sure what's to be patented cause the insert doesnt fit snugly in the grooves, its kind of useless actually. Watch would bang around inside this box



These are the nicer ones I have, the ugly ducklings are thrown in a drawer and will probably be donated with future sales.

Dont see any of these. Red Seamaster Chronometer box, have only seen the Constellation version. Maybe uncommon?

Art Deco bakelite by Isolit, a bakelite manufacturer of the time.

Interestingly, the identically shaped Tissot case is not produced by Isolit, but but Jousi, who as far as I can tell is still in operation!

Close to $1000.... Price tag of historical $250 for speedmaster back then and $150 for Seamaster any light can be shed by our fellow members to confirm?

Here is a price list from 1959, which I think is close to when that box was made.

Only watch that was exactly $250 was a gold-capped Constellation. These usually had their own boxes with the model name on it.

However, we will never know for sure.

yes, this should be the correct one, the hinge is usually covered by the leather- unfortunately no more with your box as it has cracked...
