Found some Omegas...

[southtexas]

...and know nothing about them. They come from a jeweler and are sitting in his drawer for "refurbishment". I don't have any serial numbers and very little info on them, but I'm curious to know what you guys think??

Thanks

Watch 1:

The orange hand functioned as a stopwatch, activated by the pusher.







Watch 2:
Damaged, Seamaster but looks early and with red date.




Watch 3:
Constellation. I think he said its blue lapis with gold specks? This had L80(with omega sign) marked between lug




Watch 4:

Wow, nobody knows anything about any of these???

On the Speedmaster it would help immensely if you could take off the case back, and post pictures of the engraving on the inside of the case back, and a picture of the movement, or at minimum a serial number.

Based on the dial, it looks like 1969 - 1974 (stepped dial, "PROFESSIONAL", painted omega logo, short tritium markers, etc.)

The case back would seem to narrow it further, 1969 - 1971 (single bevel, Seahorse,"SPEEDMASTER" in center, with Omega logo).

Sorry I don't know much about either of these. Although I agree, the Speedmaster looks to be from the 69-74 period. It's hard finding information about vintage Omegas. I wish you all the best!

Thanks guys. I did some research last night and learned a lot about watches #1 (chronostop) and watch #3 (it runs on battery and has a tiny tuning fork to help it run).

Still don't know too much about 2 and 4. The speedmaster, if from that vintage 69-74, looks to be in great shape (from the quick view I got). The chamfer on the lugs is pretty cool (if original).

Is the serial on the inside caseback? I didn't see any other markings on the outside of the watch.

Does anybody have any info on the old seamaster? It's in rough shape but looks really old.

I would tend to agree that it looks to be in pretty decent overall condition. It's missing a bezel of course.

The serial number is on the movement, engraved on the escape wheel bridge, you see it in this image, down at the 7 oclock position (24002932). For your watch, it is likely a number in the range 28,XXX,XXX - 31,XXX,XXX


The inside case back will contain engraved information about the reference number of this watch, a better indication when it was actually assembled/sold. It will look something like this

Top on is a ChronoStop. Bottom is a Speedmaster.

#2 should be Ref. 2849 Cal. 502/503 from the 50s.
