Hi all
Are people here also keen on the very old square/tank/rectangle Omegas? I haven't seen many pictures or threads on them.

I'm not specifically asking about these, but there is such as large variety, from the more recent Geneves /DeVilles

Would love to see more photos/stories on this style of watch

 

Here are a couple not so small square ones.

These are 31.5-mm x 40.5-mm excluding the crown and wear like a full-size 34-mm Seamaster.

I have lots of other interesting square/oblong ones if anyone would like to see more.

There are actually a large variety of Omega cased square and oblong watches from the 30s, 40s and 50s.

Ref 3950 cal 342


Ref 3953 cal 353 18K - The ugliness on this one is actually crazing on the original signed Hesalite crystal and only visible at certain angles.

 

Love that dial on yours.

 

They all have very interesting lugs. Something to investigate later then!

 

Now I really like that

 

I'm reviving this thread because I was inspired by the Cartier Tank & JLC Reverso discussion. The Reverao us a stunning watch. I'm yet to find any Omega in that sort of style - not the reversing part,just the simple elegance, the clean straight lines,etc.

 

That is nice!

 

ref 3637 Marine de Luxe with sapphire crystal as opposed to the glass crystal on the ref 3635 Marine Standard.

I've never seen another one of these with an original black dial, the radium figures have turned black with age but are fully intact.

 

Last photo has flex lugs cal T17, ca 1936

 

Drool

 

From the depths of time another thread resurrection
Any comments on this fella, cal. 684 I suspect, one or two floating around on the marketplace but little info/opinions.

 

I'd wear it!

I suspect I would as well but tbh apart from vintage it is way out of my comfort zone.

 

Had one but traded it for an older one... It's a 1550005 from around 1973, called Deauville in the Deville line. Very comfortable by the way and not so impressive when on the wrist.


Yours does't have the original Omega bracelet.

Here is one I have. It is in 14 k gold.
Repainted dial.
