My WM believes the band is original to the watch. I needed to lengthen the band by three links, so purchased a length of Omega BoR. It fit perfectly.
Omega 2278-3 with Cal 320 from 1959. It shows the wrinkles of time, but has developed a beautiful, warm golden hue that is just amazing in the sunlight.
Here’s something unusual. 36mm case with 344 bumper movement and triple reference stamping 2765-3SC,2764,2771
There is only one thing better than steel case with gold furniture: Steel case with rose gold furniture! Ref. 2791 cal. 266
I've got this Bulova 'His Excellency' from 1950 that is white gold filled with original dial and gold hardware. And I still have my FIRST watch from ca. 1958.
