    Hello,

    I need a bit of help identifying this vintage omega.
    [​IMG]

    To me it looks like a combination of these to very early omega seamasters.

    Is it maybe a later model than the ones on the picture above?

    Looking forward to hear your thoughts!

    Looks like a 2576 powered by a cal 342.

    The other two were from the same era I guess

    Agree with Hoi, a 2576 with a 342 or 344 bumper movement. Does something thud inside if you rock the watch ? - this should have a hammer movement ( bumper) inside, with a rotor that can only travel about 180 degrees before it hits a buffer and gets sent back in the other direction

    To be sure, you need to take it to a watchmaker and take the back off - pls take photos of the movement and inside case back, and note down serial number ( so that we can date the watch), calibre number and case reference.

    I agree. I have a similar 2576 housing a 342. However mine is missing the second hand. Where can one source 342 small second hands? I have found long sweep seconds on Ofrei but not sub seconds. Sorry I don't mean to hijack.
