Goodevening everybody,

In many of the vintage International Guarantee booklets is a 4 digit number. You see these Numbers in the most of the booklets from the end 60’s till mid 80’s. Here you have Some examples.



Each code has is own country. In the last year ive written down All the codes i am sure of they belong to the following country. I think it can be very usefull information because it increase the change of buying a put together set.

The following codes i am sure of. It it possible there are more codes for one country because i saw newer booklets from the Netherlands with code 1148, 1149 and 1150.. i am generally speaking About the end 60’s to mid 80’s brown and red booklets.

1011. Spain
1032. France
1061. United Kingdom
1062. Channel Islands (Bailiwick of Guernsey)
1111. Zwitserland
1121. Italy
1141. The Netherlands
1191. Finland
1211. Germany
2011. USA
4063. Thailand
5231. Singapore
5281. China
5321. Japan
4301. South Africa
6011. Australia
6232. Sri Lanka

Please tell us what you know About the codes. It looks like Europe begins with 1, USA with 2, Africa with 4, Asia with 5 and Australia with 6. Maybe South America begins with 3 ?

 

How many booklets did you check? sample size?

 

I've watched Ebay / forums / own watches etc for about 2 years. Offcourse i found more watches from Germany / USA / Australia then from Singapore or The Netherlands.

Offcourse there are many more country's, so i hope people have a filled in guarantee booklet with a number/code whitch is not in the list yet.

 

Omega won't share their list, I have already asked and it's internal information they don't want to make public.

This has been my observations list so far :

1032 - France
1061 - United Kingdom (Old white warranty card)
1062 - Channel Islands (Bailiwick of Guernsey)
1121 - Italy
1251 - Old Japan ?
2011 - USA
3089 - China ?
4063 - Thailand
5038 - ?
5340 - Japan
6011 - Australia
6232 - Sri Lanka
9027 - United Kingdom

Maybe we can manage to reverse engineer a community-based list based on observations. Useful for probably a lot of us.

 

If you are sure about the codes where no ? is behind i can put them in de start post I saw that the newer guarantee papers (the plastic ones) have other country codes. Because this is the vintage part of the forum, and to keep is clear, i think we must keep it to the old paper Guarantee papers?

 

I cannot be sure of any of them since I have no way to have my observations confirmed. The ones with a ? behind are the ones where I have most doubts at this stage.

 

I have a 2003 AT which originates from the US and confirm that it has a country code of 2011 as above.
I have a couple of other cards - one with hand written dealer information with a code of 5321 in the bottom left of the card perhaps from Japan and another blank card with the code 1312 which I have no idea about at all.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

Wonder too about the meaning of the codes; nice as can cross reference information against Omega extract of the archives on old pieces

 

5261 = Hong Kong

 

Hi OF, if someone knows something about the 5021, I would be interested...

 

something in APAC

 

I know 1212 is also Germany, 1211 also but probably different regions of Germany
Did anyone ever find out which country is for 1312 ?

 

Hi OF, if someone have an idea about the 1015 (in Europe, I guess?...), I would be interested...

 

I just saw one number 1181 which was signed by a Swedish dealer.

 

Just found a 1997 Omega from UAE = 5114

 

Hi everyone
I’m trying to find a 1960s international guarantee booklet that is blank.
Ive been searching but all i can find are ones that are already filled out.

i have a seamaster compressor 166.042 from 1969

any ideas?

 

What's your idea with a blank booklet?

 

A few years back i got into watches and took repairs as a hobby. My friends father passed, and he found his omega in the drawer non running. I was able to fix it and purchased it from him. Recently ive been trying to get my collection complete with era correct box, papers and tags.
Ive been doing this for my other vintage watches as well.

 

Ive been trying to find any at least with the model number matching, but unfortunately i have been unsuccessful

 

They show up on ebay 1 or 2 times a year, but expensive...
