Hey folks,

we have a few “Show us…”-threads but I couldn’t find one for Omegas with hooded lugs. They’re certainly an uncommon breed and personally, I’m a big fan. I cherish those threads as they are a helpful reference and I’m sure there must be some astonishing examples to be found among the many collectors here. So please do share! I’ll start with what’s currently my only example, a Seamaster 14350 with a cal 354 and a black waffle dial.

I have seen a few different pieces with this lug design, and I have to say, I am definitely warming up to the styling. I’m still partial towards a beefy lug but I can appreciate the design choices behind this lug. I am absolutely in love with that dial, however. You have a beautiful piece and the overall combo looks great on that strap 🥰

Is this a US market model? I seem to remember...

Stunning, do you have any close up photos of the negative print?

No, sorry I don´t

I think I have mixed it up with another dial - I think its just a printed one - have edited the original response. Did not have enough coffee this morning ☕

Gold cap with one of the 330 series bumpers inside. A lovely watch and I wear this one a lot.

Cheers, Chris

Yes - Jonell case with a cal. 500 movement.

One more special piece from my collection. An uncommon ref. OT 14.327. Bought this watch while visiting NYC. Sold it to a member on OF but was able to convince him to sell it back to me. Ended up being the watch I wore to my wedding.

Damnit. Should've used the OP-status to claim general dibs in the initial post. Missed opportunity right there.
