Hi everyone, I need some help with getting some general information on a modern omega timepiece. I was offered a trade on this solid gold Omega railmaster 1895 limited edition. The watch is 39mm with a pretty nice case back. I was told the timepiece was purchased in Asia about 10 years ago. Other than knowing the watch was limited edition and equipped with cal 2403, it doesn't appear to be a lot of information online about this particular model, so I hope I can get some help here.
Thanks in advance and have a great weekend!

Serial number indicates it is a ref. 26085237. Based on the description looks like possibly for the Chinese market - WATCH SE CO-AX RAILMASTER CHINE/LIMITED.

Note sure what else you want to know about it...

Hummm, wondering what the "750" mark on the lug opposite the serial number is for? I'd have expected 18k or something if it were gold.

Thanks your comments/input. The watch is probably 18k gold and the model number matches Archer mentioned. I would like to know its reasonable to trade with a pre owned Rolex explorer 2 + $500? The owner will also bring me the box and paper this weekend.

Its hard to know what price to put on these as they're not sought after or anything (when I say they I mean the various gold LE models Omega has made with older movements like the Cal 2500) and many of them sit for a very long time unsold, if it went on eBay at open market I'd see it bringing between 4k and 8k depending on how many interested parties there were.

Ummm...

I actually was feeding a baby for a few hours, who wanted nothing to do with a bottle. Much like playing 3 hours of tennis in the sun 😜

The 750 hallmark means the same as 18K gold.

24k is pure gold. .750 or 750 is 18k gold.

Cool watch especially the case back. I generally don't like the coloring of 18K gold in watches but this looks great.

Railmast in gold is magical.....love the image on the case back. Happy to see those hallmarks clear as day on the lugs.

Best,

Thomas

Cool model! Wonder if that 18k model was ever produced on 36mm size. Do you still own it?
