Sort of vintage.

A really nice piece of cool retro!

It's nice that is a full box but personaly i will look for a stainless steel version.

Seriously though, it is minty, and it's Omega! Great bracelet too.

What are the functions?

Growing up in the 70s, I had a Texas Instruments or Casio gold LCD watch with a tritium backlit display, so it didn't drain the battery viewing the display at night. Maybe one of the batteries is for the light?

It matches your avatar. Very cool

Hi guys,

I was looking for a watch that I could just throw on and go when I’m in a hurry. So battery would be the go.
I was looking at something quartz when I came across this digital gold plated omega. Comes with box papers all the original gear. Pretty good condition too.
Snagged it for $450 aud. Not all that much really.

anyone else got something like this?

Hi there, great buy! These seem to be quite rare and unheard of. I have one of these models with the 1616 movement, which belonged to my late grandfather. It sat in a drawer for about 20 years, until my grandmother gifted it to me a couple of years ago. I had the (two) batteries changed by a local jeweller, but two of the case buttons had become seized over time. The quartz “movement” itself, and light button (and light itself) were functional, though.

I have recently sent it off for repairs, via Omega Boutique in Martin Place, Sydney. None of the staff there had ever seen this model before and commented on the obscurity factor. I was quoted a minimum of close to $800, but this watch is sentimentally special to me, so it’s worth it, in my eyes. The plating on mine is very worn, and the crystal shows some scratching and damage. It’s seemingly been sent from Omega Melbourne to Bienne, Switzerland. Hopefully they can refurbish the case and still have replacement crystals available.

That's one really cool Omega! What caliber does it feature?

Here's something quite similar. A memomaster with a cal. 1632

Pretty cool piece. Hope it came back in top condition ready to enjoy

Thanks so much! At present, it seems to be heading to (or at) Omega in Bienne, awaiting the necessary restoration/refurbishment. So far, the ETA is February 2024. I am very eager for it to come back for many more years of enjoyment!
