Omega Memomatic Alarm Watch Pickup Today...

Here is a reasonably nice and all original example of a 1970's (actually 1969 I think) Omega Memomatic Alarm Watch. I had not heard of this reference previous to finding this one today...very cool history for sure.
This watch has a Lemania cal. 2980 derivative movement that is an Omega cal. 980 with a very unique auto winding movement AND alarm and a 48 hour power reserve. This example is case reference 166-072 and comes with the original Omega stainless steel 1170 / 618 bracelet and end pieces. Super cool piece from the very early Seventies!

These are way cool. I have had them on my radar for a while. They did dressier versions as well as sportier like this one.

Another cool Omega is the Chronostop. Check those out!
