Vintage First Generation Omega Seamaster Circa 1948

While I have not viewed the inside case engravings, as the case design is monocoque, this timepiece appears to be a first generation, late 1940's Omega Seamaster. If you compare this watch to the central seconds version of Omega's recent 70th anniversary Seamaster 1948 Limited Edition, the dial and case design elements are identical. This Seamaster features a 34mm wide steel case, excluding crown, with beefy lugs and bezel. The original two-tone dial shows natural patina and character. The original lume is intact. Caseback is marked "Seamaster", "Waterproof". The crystal was replaced at some point, as was the crown and service history is unknown, but the bumper movement winds smoothly and is keeping reasonable time for a 70+ year-old watch. Comes on a slightly worn generic black leather strap, 18 Long. This is definitely a very wearable vintage watch with lots of life left. US $575, includes shipping/ paypal Canada/US.

NOTE: Just to clarify, I stand corrected, as indicated by ConElPueblo, that this is a ref. 2767 circa 1954 and is a snapback case. I used Omega's Reference 511.13.38.20.02.001, their recent 1948 re-issue as a reference point, which was a mistake. My intention was not to mislead and I apologize for my poor description. Thanks for all your comments and feedback. I'll do a better job next time.

i think i violated this rule unknowingly- so will delete the message in order to comply

Keep all communication to through PM in respect to a deal rather than email. You can of course openly discuss the item in question publicly , but not in the sales post . Such discussions are to be respectful and non-accusatory. Serious concerns should be directed in reports to staff.

Kind of silly. The caseback should be opened anyways as part of sales listing to begin with.

It's a ref. 2767, so not exactly "first generation". The logo is the later type as well (introduced around 1953 on most Seamasters).

Lovely facetted fat lugs 👍



It is a snap-back, there should be a small lip somewhere around the periphery of the caseback 😀

will submit offer

I really appreciate your feedback, thank you. My intention was not to mislead. As you indicate, this is a ref. 2767 from around 1954 or so. I compared it to Omega's recent 1948 re-issue, which was a mistake.

I hope my comment wasn't percieved negatively - I am not surprised it sold fast 😀

No, thanks again for the feedback, you've been very helpful. Moving forward I will do a better job. I made a poor assumption thinking this was late 40's. I've put a note in the listing to clarify.

I'll have one in 36mm please send thank you. Beautiful piece, congrats to whomever picked it up
