Stainless Seamaster 2802 listed as DeLuxe

efauser · Oct 27, 2021

I saw this listing and was wondering if a stainless steel Seamaster 2802 was actually a Deluxe? I thought that designation was for solid gold. Am I incorrect?

Hey there--that's mine, and I'll happily defer to experts if it's supposed to only be gold models—my apologies.

If it matters, I was basing it off the Blackbough listing, though, again, I'll happily amend if that's a gold-only designation.

For whatever reason, Omega has this model designated as a “deluxe” in their database. We know that isn’t always accurate, though, so who knows. I’d be curious to see how ads portrayed the reference back in the day.

Very bizarre. When I originally looked for an answer, the only thing from the Omega database was that it was solid 18k gold although the photo was stainless with gold furniture, which is why I asked. Now, I can't find that link.

You're good. I asked the question here rather than possibly screwing up your listing and possible sale. I have found other links in the Omega database that mentions a DeLuxe in stainless.
The only thing I have ever seen with the Deluxe designation were gold. I guess when you think you know Omega's rules, you'll find the exception.
