Hello all,

I am becoming a fan of some of the dress Seamasters from the 50's and 60's, but it seems that they are mostly around 34mm diameter, which I fear might be a little small for me.

Did Omega make anything of a similar style in the 36-38mm diameter range similar to the pictures I have attached? In particular, I am a fan of the dagger hands and the Arabic numbers at 3, 6, 9 & 12.

Also, if there is a good source on the internet to find such information, I would appreciate a link.

Thanks!

Greg

 

The Omega Seamaster case ref 2938 is just on 35.6mm diameter excluding the crown. I'm not sure whether there are authentic black dial versions around, though.

 

There were some 37-ish mm waffle dialed bumpers too. Can't remember the reference numbers off hand, but kyle L probably will.

ps - the dagger style you show in your post are called 'dauphine' style:

Ck 2494 & 2657 were 36 mm seamaster bumpers late 40s either a caliber 351 or 342. It was a shared case sometimes marked as such. I have a pic of mine somewhere. I've not seen a black dial version but some waffles. No numerals though, just indices. Wears nice on the wrist.

 

Thanks all, this information was greatly appreciated.

 

Seamaster 'Sparkle' dial, 36mm w/o crown. I bought this from Mike early last year, and I like it a lot

 

Omega Seamaster reference 2867, caliber 503, measures a true 38mm without the crown. I sold this last year.
