Hi all, I have just purchased a gorgeous vintage Omega Seamaster with product code "14700 4 sc" from my local watchmaker svajts.com. I have looked up the code on the Omega website, but I haven't been able to find any info about what the "4 sc" stands for. Could you help me out? Any other info that you might have about the watch would be greatly appreciated (e.g. materials etc.) Thanks a lot! Mikkel
The SC part means Center Seconds (as opposed to Sub Seconds). Its from the French words (Roughly translated, I got an "E" for French in grade 8 and dropped it the following year) "Le Cênérèë Séçôndsë"
dsio, That's great info - thanks a lot! Any idea what the "4" is about? The closest model, I've been able to find on the Omega website, is this one: Reference: KO 14700 International collection: 1960 MovementType: Automatic (mechanical) Caliber number: 552 Created in 1958 24 jewels Central sweep-second hand Case: Gold-cap on stainless steel Case back: Screw-inDial With hand-rivetted gold hour markers and "index" hands. Crystal: Armoured hesalite Bracelet: Leather Water resistance: 30 meters (Search "14700" at http://www.omegawatches.com/spirit/history/vintage-omegas/vintage-watches-database) It looks almost identical, except for the dial, which has a slight texture. I wonder if mine has gold hour markers and index hands, too? Again, thanks! Mikkel
