Here's my one and only black dial:

 

My only black dialed vintage...'52 cal 354. (I assume my 2254.50 is too new to count.)

 

No. Just the vintage black dialed ones.

 

Only the one Omega with black dial (well, there is the pre-moon Speedy, but its not back together yet)



1918 Elgin Pershing



Olma Polerouter rip-off



Nivada Chronomaster



A bunch of Roamers











Oh, and a huge old 1930s Lanco



I guess I have more - but that'll do.

 

I'll play! Here are three of my favorites black dials:

 

Here's the UG version of that watch:




They weren't the only one who borrowed that styling. One of our members Brad has a Tudor from '53 on page 2 of this thread (http://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-black-dials-only-lets-see-them.1361/page-3#post-27568) that's the same look as my '58 microrotor.




I used to have a picture of another brand's Polerouter homage but I can't find it in my Photobucket acount. Here's a Speedy homage too:

 

Can I have a go please?

'68 Speedmaster


'72 Submariner



'2000 Roadster

 

Hi, my first post, loving the vintage forum

 

Hi Stefan

Loving the Chrono-matic GMT....have you got some more info on that one ?

Best - Neil

 

Hi Neil, I know this forum is all about Omega but anyway, this is a 1970 Breitling Chrono Matic 2115 caliber 11 fitted with the original bracelet ( serialnumber 13xxx million) It's one of my favourite, really big watch or ca 47mm in diameter, been in my possession for many years.

 

Hafis also did one near identical.



If Tudor had one in 1953....

 

UG had them at that time too, but bumpers.

 

Sure is Wore this one all day today, it's a real looker on the wrist! I also have a black dialled Seamaster De Ville (posted earlier) and a Hamilton Sputnik - I think I have "the season 5 set"

Here are the two black dials I have just recently purchased. I was only looking for one but when two came along I was helpless!

I've got to try to justify keeping both to my wife now.

The picture is pretty rubbish, the dials look much better in real life. All I've done is polish the crystals a bit. I'm taking them to my watchmaker tomorrow so thought I'd take a quick snap first. I've got new crowns for them. Do you think the crown on the 168.005 is original? The plating has worn away and it has obviously been on there a while.

They were both running strongly when I got them but the 2782 has stopped today.

Thanks for any feedback.

Carl
