I'm looking to purchase this watch but I'm not sure if its real or not. These are the clearest pictures I was able to get. Unfortunately no pictures of the case or movement. Anyone able to identify this watch?
166.0141, Cal 750. The first model with day date if i remember correctly.. some more info here. http://forums.watchuseek.com/f20/anyone-have-information-about-model-185102.html The link on OVDB seems to removed... http://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-watches-database?ref=15757
The 751 was Omega's first day/date, according to their vintage web pages. Same case as this Geneva? Maybe. Genève1972 - 1976ST 366.0828
That's interesting. Your reference says the 750 was the first day/date. Omega says the 751 was:Constellation"C"1967CD 168.0029 I have to say, it makes sense that the 750 would be.
All of the cal. 75X movements were introduced at the same time. There is no "first". The cal. 750 was only exported to the US in less expensive watches, as the US had extra customs duties on watches with more than 17 jewels. Omega also had cals. 490, 500, 550, and 560 produced for the same reason. Hope this helps, gatorcpa
