Morning all Everyone on the forum who knows me knows that my passion is Omega watches and more over I have a real thing about the Megaquartz 2400 series of watches. For me these are amongst the most special watches ever made! I won't go in to the details (but anyone who want to know PM me) but in short for those not in the know they are the most accurate Omega ever made and amongst the most accurate watches ever made, accurate to 1 second per month and made way back when in the early 1970's! This watch is a calbire 1510, realised in circa 1973/4, the watch came in a very similar case to the famous Marine Chronometer but without the plaque and 14K bezel, available in Stainless Steel or 18 carat gold and with basically the same movement! The Calibre 1510 was most famously produced with an aventurine crystal dial, nicknamed the ‘Stardust’. The watch came in a number of variations of dials: stardust (silver and gold), waffle dial in black, blue and brown and electric blue dial, by far the rarest of the production models was the electric blue dial, which changes colour in the light and goes from dark metallic blue to almost metallic grey dependant on the light condition. The total production run of calibre 1510 was also 1000 units, around 800 of which were produced in stainless steel with a variety of dials and 200 were produced in solid 18 carat gold (weighing over 200 grams) with either stardust or electric blue dials, there were less than 200 of the blue dials produced. The original list price in 1974 for a calibre 1510 was £604 in stainless steel and £3275 in 18 carat gold, by contract the Moonwatch was £134! Anyway, to cut to the chase, this watch has been amongst my personal stash of Megaquartz's for two years now and I wear it regularly The dial is stunning, it has a couple of virtually unnoticeable and very small marks on the dial but nothing that detracts. The hands are original and in excellent condition The watch is basically as good as they come, it has been fully refinished and overhauled and I am happy to supply a six month warranty These are pretty rare watch to start out with but with this amazing condition makes it very special. It is keeping time to 0.03SPD or better than 1 second per month and has been fully serviced and overhauled! Condition: Case: Perfect condition with excellent profile, refinished at Omega Caseback: Refinished with very clear Omega logo Movement: Fully serviced and overhauled, original to the watch (this is the best quartz movement Omega ever produced and they spent 30,000,000 swiss francs developing it. BCT: Original 1215 shark band with N12 deployment, will fit as small as 6 inch and big as 8 1/2 + inch wrist Box: Original to the watch and extremely rare, with original tags STS in the UK still service these and have extensive parts (they serviced this one when I first got it) There are plenty of specialists like KeithT and others who can service them economically. Parts are readily available so you don't need to worry about the watch outlasting all of us! All that said the new owner will have complete peace of mind knowing the beauty is ready to go with a new battery and will not require work for years to come and I will offer a 6 month warranty to the new owner! I am looking for £1650 shipped Paypment via BT or PP gift and shippping via RMSD or Internaitonal Signed for Cheers Tom
Many thanks, I am hoping this will be the last one I have for sale for a while, it certainly is an amazing watch
Lovely looking watch. I can't quite gather from your description or pictures if you're selling the St St or YG version?
