·Came across this 35mm Centenary chronometer and bought it. It came from South America, the original owner was a Brazilian man who bought it in 1949.
Included are the accessories which you would have received at the point of sale. I’ve not seen the outer centenary box before or the letter from Omega and the envelope it came in. The letter is interesting as it suggests that the owner of the watch visited and signed the centenary book at the Omega museum. I’m not sure if all centenary buyers received this letter.
The inner silver box is complete and includes a small warning strip in Portuguese that warns of not removing the cellophane wrapping. The original certificate in Portuguese is included along with all the timing performed before sale. Additionally the original solid gold buckle and gold spring bars are all present. The caseback has the less common (I believe) centenary inscription as well.
I hope you enjoy the photos and I’ll try to include photos of the accessories as they are surely less common than the watch itself.
