Over the past 3 weeks I have calculated accuracy to be +1.6 seconds per week

I bought the same watch this week and I am delighted. It looks really nerdy on the wrist, I literally fell in love :



Have also its cal.1620 NOS brother :

Thanks for the link Ash, these don't come up very often and I would really like an original.

 

Hi guys, looks like there is some professional of the 186.0004 watch here!
I was in Bienne at the Omega museum few months ago and I'm in love with this watch! But it's look like it's pretty hard to found one :-(

 

Indeed there are some. And if you keep your eyes open here and on the Bay you might one - they pop up for sale time to time.

Did you enjoy your trip to Bienne? Was the 186.004 the only highlight for you? Welcome to the forum.

 

Thanks, sorry for my English, but I'm French ;-)
Ok so I will keep my eyes open, what is the "good" price for this model, if it work perfectly and look in good shape?
Biennia and the Omega Museum was awesome! I really enjoyed to hear all the stories of the Speedmaster, so sad that the Snoopy awards model was not presented.

 

The price for a nice 186.0004 is somewhere between 2-3k USD based on what I have seen. Less if watch only, maybe more if full set with box and papers.

The picture you posted above is a prototype watch made for NASA back in 1979. They differ from the production watch in that they are cal 1621, which uses a tritium paint behind the glass to give them a permanent glow for the LCD, they made around 20. 12 went to NASA and a number of them where flown on shuttle missions. Here the price is in line with the quantity ever produced, obviously higher than what I quoted for standard cal. 1620 186.0004s above.

 

Ok, so price seems to be a little bit higher that I was thinking.
But I will check if I can found one, I'm really in love with this model.
Thanks for your information about the one at the Omega Museum

 

Any one has a spare 186.0004 box lying around? I have the watch, bracelet, manual and hang tags. Just missing a puzzle piece

 

I got one off ebay a couple months ago with box and bracelet, running and in pretty good shape, for about $1,500 usd

 

Ok, so I think I can found one in my budget ;-)

 

Possibly, good luck!

 

Mine, thanks to Takasha

Is there someone who will be very kind to share with me the notice in english?
