My Omega Archive extract arrived yesterday and I took some time today to frame it.

Omega customer service is really top notch I have to say. Hit a little speed bump and Omega USA sorted it no problem. Really fine folks over there, and I couldn't be happier. Ariel Morel from OmegaUSCS took good care of me. I've just purchased an Omega Aqua Terra so it seems maybe there is a trend developing here.

I think the extract adds a little color to the history of this old 30.

That's awesome! Pretty cool they tell you the exact date of production.

I'm surprised it's from china originally. Government official perhaps?

That's really neat. What's the special significance of the watch???? Family heirloom???

I like to collect movements I find interesting and the omega 30t2 based movements are in my opinion some of the best manual movements ever made for a wrist watch. This cal 286 was looked after very well and it keeps time so well I still have a hard time believing it's 50 years old. The last time I checked it was +/- 0 seconds a week. Besides, for a vintage SM it's in great shape. Love giving an old watch a loving home
