    I got a superb Omega Flightmaster 145.013 as a partial trade in a recent deal. Since I already have two of same reference in my collection, thought this could make another ΩF member happy.

    The bracelet is stainless steel but a noname aftermarket one. It looks quite good but If you don't like it I can replace it with a new black racing leather strap from BandRbands. Another option would be to add the 1178/172 or the 1162/172 I've listed for sale here.

    The dial is in an absolutely perfect / pristine condition and the colors are crisp and very attractive. Photographs made with my iPhone 8 don't do justice. The small scratch you see between the index at 10 and OMEGA is on the crystal, not on the dial. Can be easily polished out. The darker area between 11 and 12 is the shadow of the chrono hand.

    It looks like the A5 from Flightmaster Only, however, notice the lume dots at 3, 6 and 9 on the minute track instead of between the sub dials and the minute track like the A5 pictured in FMO. Obviously, not all types of dials are in FMO. The luminous material is obviously Tritium and lumes under UV as should.

    The bezel appears to be a later service replacement (numbers with serif).

    The hands appear to be all original to my eye. Hour, minute and GMT with Tritium, obviously. The chrono hand is interesting : first time I see a hand like this, painted in black at its base. Can't say I dislike this look.

    Case : correct to the reference, it's been refinished and it looks absolutely outstanding. Look at the pictures ::love::

    Crowns & Pushers : later service replacement parts, yep.

    The caseback was probably refinished together with the case, very coherent.

    Movement : very clean Cal. 910. Since the service history unknown to me, I decided to list it as serviced as I am willing to have the movement serviced by my watchmaker before I hand it over to the new owner (expect a quick turnaround and pictures of the movement being serviced). If you want to buy it as is, without servicing, I will reduce the price accordingly. The movement is running with 265 degrees amplitude and -6 sec a day, as is.

    The serial is interesting : 3331xxxx is late for a cal.910 and places it into 145.026s according to FMO. But 145.026 has running seconds instead of 24h at 9, and another dial. I do not have any explanation for that at this stage. I will try to get some additional information from the Omega Archives. Still as you can see it's labelled 910 and has all the functions as such. Maybe something Transitional?

    Terms and conditions : 4500 CHF / 4550 USD / 3950 EUR / 3450 GBP wired directly to my Transferwise account for the serviced watch and bracelet. Options explained above. No other accessories are included in the sale.

    The watch and I are in Switzerland, and so I will accept a wire directly to my Swiss bank account, however that will be in CHF, and will thus cost you conversion and transfer fees. I don't like PayPal but if you want to pay their F&F fees, I'll gladly accept. I use Transferwise as it saves you on these fees, and is a local transaction for us both. More currencies are available upon request. Returns are accepted only if grossly misrepresented. You will get what you see in these pictures which are of a decent quality and high resolution, so I don't believe there is any chance of misrepresentation. Since I own the watch I'm selling, feel free to ask for special details or angles you want to see better, prior buying.

    I am a private collector and will set the post OHPF after getting the first PM saying "I will buy this watch now at your price". Then we can discuss the options for Shipping. Face to face always welcome, I value meeting people.

    I have dozens of transactions with only positive feedbacks here as well as outside Omega Forums - can link you with several happy buyers worldwide, on request.

    All criticisms about the watch are welcome.

    Thanks ΩF for the space :thumbsup:
