    Hello, all members in this forums.

    I want to share another one in my collection.

    It was all steel, Omega ref.14762 SC 61 with serial no. 19,647,xxx (production around 1962).

    Case: All steel, 34 mm (excluding crown), beefy lug, not over-polished (in my view)
    Dial: Vertical groove dial’s pattern without minute markers. The font looks original. Dial has some spots with elongated hour indexes.
    Movement: Omega Calibre 562 which correct and clean
    Caseback: Screw caseback with Seamaster logo (small horse)
    Crown: Thin scallop crown was original too
    Strap: BOR bracelet (11 endlinks) was nice, original and correct

    In my opinion, this dial was factory made by Omega.
    It was not easy to repaint this dial.

    I believe this uncommon dial doesn’t get the minute markers because it will obscure it beauty or maybe we can’t see it clearly (as in my linen dial too).

    About this one, I have not seen this exact dial’s design before so I named it as “Corrugated Dial“.

    Finally, my wrist shot:

    Duo of mine (without minute markers)

    Thanks for many of omegaforum’s members who always discuss and enlighten me.

    If anyone got this dial’s design like these please share. Also if anyone want to name it , please help me too.

    Thanks for all comments and opinions.

    Very cool corduroy look! I can imagine hearing it make whip whip whip sounds when you swing your arm. :cool:

    Thanks @BlackTalon , @Syzygy , @dmtowl and @wagudc for your kindness comment.:)

    Nice one from @wagudc. From your attached link, I try to translate it from Japan and it mentioned as “Very fine vertical striped dials are rare.”.

    By the way, I have both Connie in my collection that have these dial’s pattern.

    However, both of mine and the one you showed use the same width of “corduroy like pattern” as I marked by arrow, but my new one was not and there was some depth between each groove.

    Very nice piece and as always a closely reasoned post.
    If I ever fulfill my dream of having a corduroy convertible car to tool around town in, I will certainly want to complement it with a matching watch.

    Very nice looking piece and looks original to me, congrats!

    The dial structure looks quite like my Longines Conquest from the 50's (hard to catch on camera)

    Thanks @krogerfoot and @hejsam.

    Yes, I agree it quite like your Longines.
    (How can you describe this dial’s style?)

    What about the 12 O'clock's misalignment and gap, though?

    That Seamaster font is rare but real.
