    Just arrived this 1950's vintage omega shop counter advertising that I wanted to share . It came from an AD long closed from Tipperary Town Ireland called Kneeshaws. Really nice condition and artwork .Thanks . 20190321_080926.jpg 20190321_080932.jpg 20190321_080919.jpg 20190321_080915.jpg 20190321_080908.jpg

    Thanks . Do you agree that's it's from the 1950's or do you think it might be later.

    It says "Announcing the new...", so yes, it must be from the '50s. The design and model shown are also consistent with pre-'60s.

    Very nice!

    Great. You wait and wait for Omega to finally announce the new watch, and it's frickin' gold...

    I'd say even earlier, late 40's. I believe the Seamaster was introduced in 1948 and the model shown here in the advert doesn't even have Seamaster on the dial so I'd think it to be very early Seamaster advertising material indeed.

    I was not thinking of framing it up as it is freestanding already. What are your thoughts .
