    This mark has been confusing Omega collectors for ages. Most of the case manufacturers are well known, but the star and another mark are still a mystery.

    Some mention was made of Star Watch Case Co but I don't think that's correct.

    Gotta love wonky stars, whether inside the caseback or on the dial! :p

    Haha okey so only the people who made the cases know!:) feels like they only made them so it would be "more rare/ collectable" ?

    So it's not on the watches submitted to time keeping competitions?

    I don't think the watches were cased, they had a basic case and were in special holders so that the movement could be held in various positions, they looked more like an aluminium block that a watch case.

    Example from Watchprosite.com

    It's a Swiss maker's mark. Problem is, that I don't know who made it.
