Not incredibly old,

But from around 1995 based on movement, hang tags, and paperwork with protective stickers and everything.

Bought my mother a ladies omega deville from a Jewelry store in Italy.

Early Mother's Day gift and she loved it.

Got this NOS Pobeda from Bulgaria, in original factory delivery plastic box, never fitted with a band till I got it. Apparently in the old Soviet days they didn't ordinarily deliver watches with factory supplied bands, the jeweler would fit one or the proud new owner would pick his band himself.


Accurate to within 5 seconds per seven days.

I know I am really pushing the NOS envelope here - but this watch was bought new a couple of weeks ago and it has not been in production since 2010. One of the endless limited editions and/but the only version that made my heart tick that extra beat. My limited photo skills does not make it justice. The dial is fantastic.
There was a reason why it was unsold until now - this version was priced out of proportion. I believe a "normal" moon watch cost in the region of 27-28 000 Swedish crowns and this version around 60-65 000. OK, it has a dial made out of something that has actually been to/in space, it has a sapphire crystal and an almost magic case back but... the price was ridiculous. Some years later the position for negotiations were better... A lot.

It came on a standard moon watch bracelet but I prefer it on a strap. This Hirsch double ridge shark suits it better in my opinion. The grey seam matches the subdials perfectly (IRL).
