·Is there a vintage model that does not have luminous material (tritium) on the hands and dial? It seems nearly every model I see has it.
Model without luminous material?

·For some models, there are versions without any lume. That also holds true for Rolex, though I think the latter are more rare.
Adding "no lume" to the model in question should yield some results on Google.

I've been looking for a nice looking one for my 2848, not necessarily a correct-to-the-watch-one, just for display. 😁

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersoof, that's quite the collection! Would you mind telling me the reference of the top middle box?

thank you
All of the top three boxes are the same - but they are Constellation specific ( it’s written inside the lid)
For a really nice Seamaster box you could go for the one far right.
Or for a standard Omega box (far left)

·I appreciate the tips and did find some candidates, of which this is one. Curious it it's been polished and if so whether to an excessive degree? https://www.chrono24.com/omega/omega-seamaster-automatic-cal-565-von-1968-reisband--id18730111.htm

Especially regarding the oxidation I think the price is pretty optimistic.
Have seen one last week for 850€ from a dutch private seller, also with BoR. Shame I didn't just grab it, but I got my first Rolex last week, so it felt a bit overenthusiastic.
