most of these are now framed

 

1979 ads:

 

Omega ad from a 1985 business magazine, featuring Claws and boldness!
This was a long way short of Omega's high water mark for design and advertising.

 

Since I saw the word "boldness" mentioned...

Ironically, they chose the lower spec, 7 jewel version of the 11DP for this ad
17 jewel version below

 

Ouch!

 

Could be because the 10.95 watch only came with the 7 jewel version. Otherwise it's misleading advertising.

 

Credit to vintageaddbrowser.com plenty to choose from.

 

There was a time when advertising meant handing out nice little items, such as the 160 pages Speedmaster The Moonwatch book... or even...
A cardboard " Mission Analyzer " to follow the important milestones of the Apollo 8 mission... those were the days !
.

 

Magazine cover and watch ad. Magazine cover and cigarette ad, with stopwatches.

 

Got this in a frame dirt cheap at an estate sale.

 

Did not realize this thread existed, just found those two.

 

That UG advert triggered a memory of that little amphitheatre in Paris (Roman ruins?) that we visited on our moto tour a couple of years ago.
Can't remember where it actually was though.

 

« Arenes de Lutece » rue Monge in the 5th arrondissement?

 

Yes, I have no idea why it just popped into my mind.

It was just after we stopped here.





But I can't find the pics of the amphitheatre.

 

Here is the other one I got that was framed. Check out the prices for the SS Sub. I guess there were no waiting lists back then.

 

50 cents down, and 50 cents per week

 

Sound like excellent terms to me.
