Another vintage Omega "oddity" that captured my imagination about ten years ago.
Unfortunately they were only available in the US, and but for a brief time when the Aussie dollar eclipsed the US dollar, the end cost to have one landed in Australia was a bit much for me.

Nice to see this unusual variant discussed and documented in a bit more detail.

 

One that has been on my hit list for many years but still eludes me...

 

I must have failed to pay attention for I'd never heard of this one before. It's one display back I'd love to own and wear!

 

I picked this one up three years ago while visiting NYC with my old man. Checked upcoming NYC auctions before departing and noticed that this beauty would be auctioned off during our stay in the city.

 

Just saw your post - thanks and feel free

 

What a beauty!

 

Hi everyone and greetings from the UK.

After a bit of a wait, I managed to find one of these online this week. Looking forward to it arriving. I’m completely new to watches so am quite excited. It’ll be my first Omega and 2nd automatic. Will post some pictures when it arrives

 

Hi all and thanks for the welcome dsio.

The Kleerback arrived from the US and I’m delighted with it. Having been able to look at it in person, I’m very surprised it didn’t prove to be more popular design at the time. I guess tastes change over time and it’s more delicate than a standard one

I tried to take some nice photos of it, failed and then realised I could share the excellent ones used to advertise it.

Overall it’s in great shape. There’s a little mark on the dial and a tiny scuff on the case but for early 60 years thats nothing. It’s survived really well so it’s on me to keep it that way now!

I might try and find a period metal strap for it at some point when I figure out what one it should / could have had originally
