Hi OF This piece is a masterclass in Omega watchmaking capability and innovation from Adam Lewis (Lewis WatchCo). For anyone not familiar with Adam's work, he's a fully OMEGA certified watchmaker and vintage servicing specialist with access to the full OMEGA parts catalogue. His first mail-out for 2023 recently arrived noting that obtaining parts from Omega is more difficult and taking longer than ever. Someone asked me if Adam made any more of these 'Ultramen' - the answer is no; it was a one-off and likely unrepeatable given the difficulty in obtaining parts - let alone 321 parts... Vintage and period service/new parts have been crafted into a stunning watch that absolutely lives up to this watch being labelled 'unique'. It has the heart and soul of a 321-powered late 60s Speedmaster, the look and feel of a Pre-Moon '68 Ultraman (albeit one with a 2018 ST Ultraman DON bezel...), and the same waterproofness and everyday wearability of a new Speedmaster. No scratches, dings or dents with the exception of minor 'desk dive' marks on the clasp. The specifications are: Movement: Calibre 321 manual winding chronograph; serial number 25.442.056 Dial: 321/67 service stepped dial with applied logo Bezel: ST Ultraman DON Hands: 67 service hands with an orange chrono Lume: ZnS (it glows...) Case: New service case Case back: Pre Moon; case back with orange enamel fill (NOTE: some wear with the enamel fill as shown in the final pic...) Crystal: Hesalite with black tension ring Crown: 50th Anniversary with tube (it's waterproof!!) Bracelet: Forstner brushed flat link with Omega clasp and 633 end links (have additional bracelet links) The 321 movement dates to 1967 and was completely rebuilt with combination of service and NOS parts to be as close to 'new' condition as it's possible to get, with finishes on the case matching how it would have left the factory... Final call pricing at USD 8,350 for a completely rebuilt 321 by a master watchmaker (or market equivalent in any major currency that I can receive through Wise.com) and which includes shipping via Fedex or DHL to your door. If you are in the US I can arrange to ship through a 'trusted friend'/OF collector in NYC so you can receive the watch as if you purchased it in the US... I have feedback here on the forum as both buyer and seller and can provide other references (as a buyer) if needed. I have represented the watch to the best of my knowledge as the 'original' owner but please note anything seen as needing correction and contact me with questions.
This is a very cool watch done by someone who knows their stuff, Adam's workmanship is top notch and his mods are well thought out. And price is very fair for a completely restored 321 with these mods. GLWS
Was just asked for a shot of the caseback; thought it was in the listing but missed it somehow... Adam's pic as completed the build...
Bump with additional photo in listing to show some wear in the caseback orange enamel fill which only just noticed in responding to an enquiry...
Bump with final call pricing at $8,350 for the OF community… will have to take it to other markets in a week's time...
