View attachment 2626 View attachment 2626 View attachment 2626 HI:
I just joined and have a large number of vintage Omega watches , however I am really stuck on this one: It is a 'Movado Museum Watch' Except Movement, Dial, Crown and strap are OMEGA! Inside case are 14kt, D6858, 21725. Did Omega make a Museum Watch???? Thanks for any help.Dial looks like Movado Museum but says Omega Swiss.

 

Pictures please! Can't make an assessment on anything without pictures.

 

Hi Gator:
Thanks for the reply ...in fact "The original Museum Watch, designed in 1947, manufactured by Vacheron & Constantin-Le Coultre Watches, Inc., Switzerland, was added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in 1960.[1][3][4]
Movado started producing an unauthorized version starting in 1948, copying Horwitt's design. Movado finally settled with Horwitt in 1975 with a payment of $29,000. Following Horwitt's death, Movado started heavy promotion of Horwitt and the design of the Museum Watch.[3] I think The Omega is from the 50's. The server will not take my hy res photos so here is a low res

 

That looks like a 60's or 70's case & hands with a dial that's been refinished to the Museum style. A shot of the inside and outside of the caseback (Seamaster logo present?) and anything else would help even more.

 

Inside of case has no Logo. D6858 omega 21725 ...serial no. 36007432 on movement...don't think it is a redo ...early 50's Omega

 

The serial number puts it at 1973.

 

Hi :
Thanks a lot...don't think Omega would be making a Museum in 1973 ...or would they? You are tremendous. Dr. HBB

 

Hi Gator Certified :
Thanks so much ...That is it ...wonder why it is relatively inexpensive...perhaps I'll Buy it. I have seen your gator logo on a lot of watch forums ....you are really helpful. Thanks again.
Best, Dr. HBB

 

hi there,

i own a piece as depicted in the link you attached. do you know any detailed info on it, i.e. model name, number, etc.

thx,

gerry

 

hi,
not sure if this went thru...
i have owned the attached timepiece since 1980, but can not determine it's model, name description, etc. it is similar to the Museum" piece but have 3 diamonds at the 12.
The boutique in NYC shows it as a "D6672", but when i look that # up, it's a completely different timepiece.
any help would be appreciated.
