·For some time, I have been searching off and on for a vintage Omega, but I'm not quite an "official" Omega owner. I am inquiring about a recent acquisition that I am checking out during the examination grace period. According to the seller, this is a 1964 version Omega automatic 165.002, 550 caliber. The watch was recently serviced and has a new crystal. When I received the watch, it appears that the hands were replaced as well (something not mentioned in the auction). It really is a quite handsome watch, but I want to be sure of the authenticity before committing to accepting the purchase ($495).
When I went to the Omega website, I was unable to find this specific model. Using the search filter for the 550 caliber, the only thing that is remotely close is the International Collection 1964, but it is listed as a gold filled case. Searching within the 550/552 calibers, they are Seamasters, which is not shown on the watch face of this particular model. I have attached some photos of the face and crown for reference. Any input from forum members would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping a newby!
