Need help with identification...

_HONDO_ · May 24, 2020

Hello! New to the group, glad to be here.
I was wondering if I could get some help identifying two vintage Omegas of mine:
One Seamaster (Automatic rotor, SnapBack case) and the other a solid gold Art Deco with twisted lugs.
I have not opened the backs- nor do I want to try... I understand it may be impossible to correctly ID without movement shots, but I’ll take my chances.
Thank you in advance.

I was able to take the back off the Art Deco- appears to be from the 40’s but still can not find the watch anywhere. Is there a good catalogue guide I can search someplace?

The gold one is one of many American cased Omegas, these were not from a "line" like Seamaster etc, yours dates to ca 1946. These watches were produced by Norman Morris Corp, the US distributor for Omega and rarely have ROW analogues.

Thank you! I came up with the date 1944, how did you determine 1946? And would you have an estimation on value? Thanks

My serial number charts show 10,000,000 at 1944 and 11,000,000 at 1947. It's not an exact science.

Small size and American case keeps value on these modest, $400-475 US or there about. Yours has an original dial which helps.
