·BLUF: I'm wondering if there's a way to do a proper, filtered search for discontinued Omega watches on Omega's own site (omegawatches.com).
If you Google an old reference number---say, 2262.50---a link will pop up for Omega's official page on that watch. I've even managed to get such official spec-sheets for much older models, but it's hit or miss. But aside from relying on Google, I can't seem to find a search tool on the Omega site itself that will allow you to include non-current models. It would be a neat thing to be able to do: to do a filtered search that includes discontinued models in order to see, say, all (or at least many) watches ever made that were over a certain size, or made in a certain metal. Does such a tool exist?
I can understand why they wouldn't make this feature available on their public-facing site, since their aim is to sell new watches, not support academic, archival interests in old ones. I'm guessing it's something they can do on their end, though, since clearly those pages are still live (hence the Google returns).
