    Afternoon 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.

    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.

    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 Stardusts for two years now, it is one of the only silver print dials I have evens seen which is completely crack free and perfect, the dial is simply perfect and looks utterly amazing in sunlight and really comes to life but appears almost midnight blue in normal light.

    I bought the watch from the first owner, a Swiss gent living on the german/swiss border who owned the watch from new but only wore it (in his words) 'on the most special of occasions'

    The watch has been fully overhauled and serviced and I am happy to provide a 12 month warranty personally on the watch and it's functions.


    The watch is basically as close to new as is possible, completely crack free dial (I only know of about 1/2 dozen others with crack free dials, virtually all of these are gold applied logo not silver like this one) and the case has only the lightest of wear marks, its had a new battery in the time I have owned it it never deviates more than 1 second per month, it is perfect:

    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! Servicing these won't leave you much change from £1000 now but the new owner will have complete peace of mind knowing the beauty is ready to go and will not require work for years to come and I will offer a 12 month warranty to the new owner!

    I am looking for £1800 shipped

    Paypment via BT or PP gift (or you cover fees) and shippping via RMSD or Internaitonal Signed for


    Cheers Tom

    Morning all

    A few early PMs elsewhere so thought best to answer for OF members:

    1) I can supply the watch on full size SS bracelet if preferred at £1900, the shark band fitted will accommodate up to an 8 3/4 inch wrist and as small as a 6ish inch wrist

    2) I'm open to interesting vintage trades, ideally Omega but open to others

    3) The watch was serviced 3 months ago and fitted with a new battery, I am happy to offer a 12 month warranty

    Hope this help

    Cheers Tom
