Found some Omegas...

...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:

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.

Top on is a ChronoStop. Bottom is a Speedmaster.

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
