Hi again.

Just picked up this Omega Seamaster with the cal 710, believe this watch is from the mid 60's and in 18k.. is anyone familiar with the cal 710?? Seems real thin and keeps good time. I put this new croc band on it and seems to complement the watch well.

Cool inscription too!

 

As you’ve noted, the cal 710 was the thinnest automatic movement Omega had made. Nice find!

 

Thanks. a caliber that doesn't get talked about a lot, I believe the 700 series movements were short lived..anyways this movement is dead on balls accurate..

 

If anyone else has a cal 710 would you please post some pics of the watch? I would love to compare to mine..

 

I am a sucker for this kind of inscription.

 

Yeah, pretty cool. Got it from my buddy who owns a pawn shop.. often wonder the story behind the watch it obviously was special to someone and sad they had to sell

 

Some more info on the Omega Ultra thin movements can be found on Desmond’s fantastic web site - here

I like the inscription too. Some people see it as negative but I (if it is not too big) like to see it as an interesting part of the story of the watch.

 

Thank you!!

 

Damn, I need a buddy with a pawn shop.

 

Lol, I've gotten some unbelievable finds.. I could never own that type of business, I'd want to keep everything!
