I’d say from the 60s to the early 90s, one tritium started to become phased out.

Is that strap Shagreen? It looks like a raspberry! Very unique.

It's ray skin.

The phasing out of calibre 321 was spectacular. I thing every Omega collector would like to have a piece from that era.

1965-1972 or so. When they really started pushing the boundaries of case and dial design, but before the movements went to 10xx

I’m starting to get interested in the 1980s seamasters - some pretty interesting and bonkers watches

Thank you, same thing, shagreen is just an older name for the skin. I think I need one for my latest, love the look!

I was not aware of that, it's true you learn something new every day.

1950's and 60's seamasters and constellations with calibers from the 500 series. What I am wearing as I am typing:

Agree with most that the peak was 50's and 60's, but like some 40's and early 70's pieces as well. Co-ax on the modern movements is cool, but hate the frenetic beat rate...
