·I believe linen dials started appearing on Omega dress watches circa 1961-62, around the time that Omega refreshed their design language on dress watches. There seem to be a couple of different dial textures that collectors refer to as "linen" dials. They would have appeared on dress watches without a model name, as well as on dress Seamasters and Constellations.

·Here’s mine. Cal 563. I've had this a while and I've just realised there may be a problem with it. Was thr Cal 563 ever used in Seamaster De Villes? Could this be a Franken?
That’s interesting, I thought linen also included this sort of lighter texture as well as the obvious cross-hatch versions. Oh well, you live and learn.

·Caliber 563 was definitely used in Seamaster Devilles. I have two of them.
Wear it in good health.

·Looking at linen dials in general they always appear well preserved and are probably impossible to restore. I am wondering if they are occasionally Frankens. Just seems odd how good the preservation is. Anybody else notice this?

·I’ve always liked them but had no idea of the diversity of them. I still need one in my collection. Thanks for posting all.
