It's missing the 'pillow' that the watch was on. If it is silver, that box was used in the 40's I think. There's a similar stainless steel one from the 60's and 70's.

ty ,It was sold as 1945

I think this is a first time for having a box posted. Would be worth a bit more if you had the watch that came in it 😀

 

[jim cantrell]

Probably one of many, dealers tend to put watches in whatever box they feel like putting it in, if its from the 1940s, any 1940s era Omega would probably fit, hell my Rolex Submariner from 1979 came in a box for a 1980 Rolex Day-Date complete with hangtag and chronometer certificate.

I've seen a few old Omega boxes from the 60s and 70s in that square-ish shape, Omega has always tended towards that.

 

[Steve]

I was just thinking that because of the depth of the box. Maybe the watch was displayed on its side rather than on a pillow ?.

 

[dsio]

This is what they looked like, its just always been the style they've used, even the modern Omega box is deep and square.

 

[Steve]

The box maybe a good purchase for anybody to put there vintage Omega in ?.

I have a box exactly like that, also without the innards.

It would have had a small sideways stand inside, similar to the Speemaster shown above. Given the medium size of the box, it likely held something like a Seamaster DeVille when new.

Hope this helps,
