Help required. I have recently purchased this Omega Seamaster ST165.024 and want to know a bit more about the hands. I have not seen this combination before as they appear to be from a Railmaster. They appear to be original to the watch judging by the patina and wear to the lume. I asked Omega directly but they pointed me in the direction of their Extract of Archives Department which were no help for the near £100 they charged. Do any members have any information on other models with the same hand set up??? Many thanks in advance

 

The hands are from the earlier 2913 SM300
I’ll be happy to trade you the correct hands

 

Correct hands would probably be these

 

yes, good idea ! i have the original hands and a swap is fine with me. kind regards. achim

 

Are the hands incorrect or would they have been fitted originally. they do look as though they are original to the watch

 

Form an orderly queue there boys

 

+2 ...

...and these match the dial lume on your 165024-64



The Broad Arrow 2913 H/M handset you have on it now could not have been fitted on your 165024 originally. They were phased out around the end of 1958/early 1959 production.

 

Your's are 1st generation hands on a 3rd generation Seamaster300. Hands may have been installed long ago but were not original to the watch.
