There's not much I need to say or present here regarding the Omega Centenary model as I know that we are a forum of Centenary lovers all the way! On a personal level, the Omega Centenary is very special to my heart as it is one of the 3 or 4 non-Seamaster models which I respect very much and have coveted since I was struck with this "Omega Seamaster only" obsession!
Having noticed a huge preference between the respectable forum members towards the "larger" Centenary 2500, I thought to start off this "Smaller Centenary 2499 Lovers" thread. (If there are any of you out there like me!)
Purchased more than a year ago, and finally arrived after some major TLC on my watch maker bench, I introduce to you my 2 new family members.....
Centenary 2499 - 1st Generation, Cal. 28.10 RA JUB (2,000 pieces produced) in 18k yellow gold

Centenary 2499 - 2nd Generation, Cal. 343 RG (5,000 pieces produced), in 18K yellow gold

The Centenary 2499 twins...
... looking for their small-sized siblings out there.... care to share and add to this thread on their behalf?

 

Beautiful watches, very much on my short list of "hope to find one, one day". Congrats!

 

A very nice pair of 2499s, M, and thanks for posting them. I love the correct period strap on the 343

 

I was lucky enough to find that strap set with the Seamaster Chronometer case box purchased earlier (posted on the "what did you buy today" thread) and they fit perfectly Although the model and shape of the straps are true to the period, they are an off-white / beige colour which may have not been, so am still on the look out for a tan / brown set

 

Beautiful watches amd I concur, stunnig strap

 

Definitely a very charming reference. Great set. Prefer the dial configuration of the 2499 to the 2500. If only Omega had just made it the same size as the 2500, it would have been perfect.

 

Wow Mazen....wow........
I think you will not gonna rest until you get the third in rose gold .

 

+1 to that

 

It comes in rose gold too?

 

Ofcourse, Kyle Your lovely unique example I know well!

 

Few Centenary 2500 came in rose gold. I expect there are 2499 in rose gold,too. Anybody can illuminate?

 

And he paid a ridiculusly low amount for that Seamaster Chronometer case box and Vintage Omega strap!!! If the seller would have shipped to Canada it would have been mine. LOL! At least you have a really nice watch to put that strap on, and yes, my tan / brown set is not for sale.

 

Check.... grail list!

 

It actually came at the perfect time, as I was expecting the Centenary
Trade maybe.....?

 

Nice, I want a strap like the one on the 343 for my Seamaster Calendar, oh well I'll just have to keep looking I suppose.

Matt

 

I'm keeping an eye online for both of us then

 

Well you can not sell your watch here unless you have special permission by moderator since your posts are below 200

 

That's what all these posts about this great deal on the Centenary is about.
