Here is my vintage automatic Omega Seamaster which I believe is circa early 1960's unless anyone can tell me otherwise?

Let's see yours!

That looks great - the only way of accurately dating is from the movement serial no.

Here are mine - these two from 1962....

and this from 1954 (bumper movement and in need of some attention)

Cheers,

Nigel

BLSampson · 30 March 2008, 09:56 AM

The one on the left is 1968, on right 2000.

vukotab · 30 March 2008, 10:12 AM

My grandfather`s Omega.I recently serviced it(just changed oils,it was already in perfect condition,except the dial that is almost ruined) and now it works like in 1962.,the year it`s produced.

Yes, it is early to mid sixties... most probably a cal. 610
(based on cal. 600 w/o date, that was introduced by 1960)

Too bad you had to part with your gorgeous looking Flighty!!! :-(
Oh well... but since there was a "wind of change" in your collection...

Ahoi there!

Looks wonderful!

I'd guess it has the cal. 550 ticking inside... (or any of its derivatives)
A wonderful movement and truly one of Omega's best ever! The 550 was
introduced by 1959.
More accurate placement could be made if you knew the serial# of the
movt...

Very nice vintage Ω of your grandfather!
Maybe we could help find you an original (NOS) dial for it??!! I'll keep my eyes open...

It is indeed a 610, if my memory serves me well. And the flighty, it was hard to let her go, but hey, almost there to be a full member of this forum

And yours are really nice too!!!

Thank you Carlos! I appreciate it!
A few years back I did exactly as you did and I parted with my Flighty.

Turns out I've never stopped regretting it... so I set up to find me another
one...! It was rather tough finding a descent one again (and especially at
a "normal" price, since the Omegamania Auction last year has turned the
prices for vintage Omegas up-side down...).

But I was lucky last fall, and I found one again

... (the one on my pics).
And this time she's here to stay!!! Yessssss!!!

Nice moon dial Petros

RKJ · 5 April 2008, 03:07 PM

Thanks,

It was the Pie-Pan that got me started with collecting. It was a gift from my Grandfather to my Father back in the 60's. Then he passed it down to me a couple years ago when I told him that he was going to be a Grandfather.

This is wonderful!!!
A great family treasure it is!!!
And I'm sure it'll proudly stay within the family, when time comes for it to be
passed on to the next generation!!!

juneja · 12 April 2008, 10:51 AM

I have a recent acquisition guys, a Jedi, and I'm not sure what to do with her (him?)...

She works well as she is, or I could go the whole hog and have her re-plated... I just don't know.

Any thoughts?

davidwatts · 17 April 2008, 04:39 AM

Omega Bumper dated to 1944 - Refinish not to everyone's taste but the 28.10 RA movement is great.

-3 minutes a day at the moment but may get it regulated.

Omega could probably restore that dial to original condition (just expect to loose your watch up to a year.)

Where's the best place to take it in the UK for an Omega overhaul, any idea?

Thanks :)

vegasvince · 17 April 2008, 12:09 PM
