You did very well. Is there an Omega logo on the helium valve ?
So around 1995 with apparently original hands and bezel. Hard to find a better old one.
thanks for the info. i thought the bezel insert and seconds hand might have been replaced during a service, considering the seconds hand isn't faded and the bezel insert is free of scratches.
For me no. But I just have pictures. And the third one apparently says it's all tritium.
Put the watch in a black room and go check without expose again the watch to light. Everything that glows bright green after 30 minutes is Lum. So new.
Everything that glows poorly is original.
Faded is not an indicateur anyway. A bezel doens't fade. An previous owner tooked care of watch or not. That's all.
I have a 1995 2541 with an original bright red tritium second hand. Not at all a tell either.
I was under the impression that UV light fades aluminum bezels. Unless by "taking care of it" you mean avoiding sunlight.

Nice watch and it appears in quite good condition. You did well. Mine says hi. In contrast to yours, the bezel on mine has faded to almost a sky blue.
I have zero lume but bezel hasn't faded like that, and yours appears to have a still white ish lume and not yellowed yet?
Or is that just the pic making them whiter?

the white lume is likely because it's a later luminova lumed dial and not the tritium.
It's a 801xxxxxx serial, so from circa 2006 with luminova.
Ah, I assumed it was the same year-ish as mine, 96, as the next model had the red text on them... didn't think there were any changes between 93 and 06 model
