Very nice Don Draper!

I long thought that Omega never produced black dials with crosshair on SMDV's but I have to admit they did, although they are exceedingly rare.

I added a little paragraph on the original post to re-establish the truth about the Seamaster de Ville.

 

Very cool thanks to share that

 

Sorry if this is irrelevant to the thread

 

An upside down crosshair dial, from @watchlr on IG

 

Wow! That one is stunning! I love it. The dial reminds me of a rug for some reason.

 

I added the Don Draper, the upside down dial and the logo at twelve on the main post, and some pictures here and there.

 

So were these special dials made by special order? Or simply randomly allocated to jewelers and ADs?

 

I'm not sure if a premium was asked for special dials that weren't made of gold. In the early sixties, a gold special dial cost 14 pounds extra. I don't know if special dials were a special order from ADs or not though.

 

I've been considering this watch that's currently on auction on eBay, I like it even though it's destroyed, it looks like a planet, and reminds me of space - it'll complement my own galaxy dial well, but I'll likely pass as I'm overwhelmed with watches



Came across this example from a Reddit discussion: https://farfo.com/vintage-wristwatches/omega-seamaster-de-ville-vintage-1971-1972-automatic-watch/



And another unique dial I've come across:


I'm just amazed by the variety inside this one case

 

Here’s a rare one I sold recently: https://omegaforums.net/threads/ear...r-2577-w-a-rare-partial-textured-dial.150755/

 

A similar deluxe model with beefy lugs (that aren’t as shiny as they appear in the photo).

 

Fantastic post. Thanks very much for starting something like this! great!

 

Very interesting examples, thank you.

 

Thank you to the OP for such a great post. A lot of time and effort went into that. Interesting that it seems Omega had the most fun experimenting with dials in the Deville line. Thanks again OP.

 

There's one for sale at Catawiki now: https://www.catawiki.com/nl/l/62773973-omega-seamaster-ribbon-dial-14701-1-sc-heren-1959

 

My ribbon style Seamaster Cal. 552. Mostly using it with a glass case back. Some small dotting on the dial (quite common with those it seems..) but mostly not visible at daylight conditions.

This looks great!

Yet another dial that I had never seen before!

 

Fantastic thread! Here’s my entry. A 2627-2SC with a honeycomb dial.

 

Beautiful!
