SOLD

This ones not getting enough wrist time so its time to pass it on. This watch is in outstanding condition and could not have been worn two dozen times including the two or three times I wore it! This watch has signed crown, crystal, original alligator strap and 14K Omega buckle. Also includes inner and outer boxes with open papers

Movement serial number dates this to ~1954/55 and is a caliber 500 automatic movement. Service history is unknown. The case measures 33.6mm not including crown and 41.2mm lug to lug. This is the same size as a typical Seamaster from this time period.

I purchased this from a respected Omega Forum member in June of 2013 and this watch operates as it should keeping very good time.
Asking $1800 U.S. pay palled and shipped, international shipping contact me and we'll see.

This is a real beauty don't miss out!

Yes, it's a beauty.

If I had to sell every watch I don't wear enough, well... 😉

Dumb question: What does the "Queens" stamp on the case back signify?

Very nice! Beautiful watch and I really love that stitched alligator strap and buckle 🥰 I was considering a PM but then remembered the 5 watches laying on my watchmakers bench........

That's the case maker. It's a US import watch - you can tell by the OXG on the balance cock.


It needs to be mentioned that the buckle and strap are probably worth at least $300 by themselves.

I can't believe this watch has not been hoovered up by somebody here. If it said Seamaster on the dial it would've been LONG gone.

It's getting interest, I've talked to several people. Getting very close.

Given I was born in 1955, hard to pass up. PM sent.
