OMEGA Watch Box Date

Hello,

I've picked up an estate sale watch.

It dates to 1978 and the deceased 'seller' purchased it in 2010.

Does anyone know whether the box I received with the watch dates to 1978, 2010 or a date in between?

Thanks.

Hey 😀

I guess this box was used for several modells. Mine LCD Speedmaster (186.0009) came in exactly this box. I would date this box around 1970s.

Hello and thanks.

That's reassuring.

As it happens, mine is a Speedmaster, too. One of the TV Dial Mark IV's.

The auction house said that it had come from a good home and in with the watch is an instruction booklet for a Mark V, a few ebay listing sheets and a handwritten note from the deceased explaining that the watch was made in 1974 and first worn (by him) in 2010.

The discrepancy in the date of 1978 that I have on my Archive Extract and "1974" is, I think, due to there being a different number set for the Speedmasters at that time.

Thanks again.
