and collectors alike. The

hour chronograph with twelve hour elapsed timer at the 6 position, sixty

Omega Speedmaster Moon Watch 1968

|

moon watch, made in the year before they first landed on the moon. It is
in excellent condition for its age, comes on the original bracelet and
is in perfect working order, it does have some marks to the bezel from
wear through its 40 year life. It can be replaced with a new one but it
is best to keep it original. The watch has got a the more desirable
Omega caliber 321 hand wound movement. After 1968 the movement was
changed to a caliber 861. The watches worn on the moon, were issued to
the astronauts before 1969 meaning that they wore watches with the
caliber 321 movement. It is possibly one of the most famous watches ever
made as it has a historical association with NASA and space travel. It
has also gained legendary status which in attributed not only to it’s
success in space as a professional instrument, but simply due to the
fact that it is a beautiful looking watch, which is durable and
practical, and can be worn on any occasion. This is whether traveling in
outer space or worn with a tuxedo, or worn at a football match. The
Speedmaster passed all of NASA’s stringent testing when they were
selecting a watch for their space missions in the 1960’s. The other
would be watches crumbled half way through testing. The other watches
included some of the big name brands still around today. The Speedmaster
however passed all of the tests and continued to operate as normal. This
was with no special modifications as all of the testing candidates were
purchased from a jewelers store in Texas. The watch had to pass all of
the extreme testing for the good reason that during space travel, it
would be subjected to the environments that were simulated during the
tests. This being outer space, the most extreme and hostile environment
known to man. Some of the conditions it required endurance was to
survive massive acceleration, compression, extreme and instantaneous
temperature and humidity changes, amongst more. Dimensions are Width

In the early days of their history they were making pocket watches
before the advent of the wristwatch.

British armed forces during the World War 1 period and is more than likely
to have been issued to an officer. The
style is typical in military design with a white dial with large and bold
numerals and hands, luminous fill is still in tact.
The dial is signed Omega as is the movement which is in excellent
condition. As with all
military watches, the case is metal alloy.
The case back is stamped with the military issue numbers G.S.T.P.
Y06169 and above these, the broad arrow military symbol. SSTP is an
acronym for General Service Timepiece. The inside of the case back is also
stamped by Omega. The movement is in excellent condition and the bridge is
stamped with Omega. It is a
15 jewel stem wound movement. Some
flaking to the lume as expected, more towards the base of the minute hand.

Omega 1976
Chrono-Quartz Seamaster “Scoreboard”
|
|
Mint condition and very rare and interesting 1976 Omega
Chrono-Quartz Seamaster. These were made for the 1976 Montreal Olympic
games, on the case back the Omega Seamaster logo is embossed alongside the
Olympic logo. The watch is commonly referred to as the Scoreboard as it is
large heavy, and designed in the fashion of the 1976 Olympic Games
scoreboard. This watch has
had very little use and still retains its factory finish, with a full size
bracelet which is of course original to the watch.
It is an unusual style of watch which has become very fashionable
lately. It does not have any
instructions, but the functions can be worked out as they are printed on
the dial. The minute hand is
set using a button inside the winding crown.
The watch was serviced in July 2003 by a qualified watchmaker and
was fitted with a new battery. It
is running and working to
perfection. This watch is a
huge success today and is the subject of many talking points. Features the
time clock on the right of the dial and digital chronograph functions in
the two display windows on the left of the dial.
These include split seconds and lap timing functions.
This is a very contemporary an lovely collectors classic, and a
pioneer of the digital age of quartz. All function work correctly. Dimensions are as follows.
The width is 47 mm excluding crown, 51 mm including crown and
buttons. The thickness is 13 mm and the lug to lug distance is 46
mm. Ref. OMG 175

Omega Seamaster 300 Military Issue
sold
|
Omega Seamaster military
issue diver’s watch. The Seamaster 300 is becoming a very collectable and
desirable military watch. There are some fakes around, but this one is
absolutely guaranteed the genuine article. It is correctly stamped on the
case back with the military ordinance numbers over the regular Omega writing
that was on the case back initially. The condition is well used, and it
could be easily restored. It is sold in this condition though as some
collectors prefer them in the used condition. However it can be
restored upon request. The case and dial design are very attractive,
so it is little wonder that they are such collectible items. It has a mat
black dial with very large and bold tritium dial markings with over size
upside down triangle at the 12 position and the circled T on the dial to
indicate that the luminous material is tritium. It has a bi direction non
ratchet rotating bezel, large sword hands and large sturdy stainless steel
case. The numbers on the back read as follows: 0552/923 7607A/333/70 with
the broad arrow. Dimensions are 40 mm excluding crown, 44 mm including crown
and 50mm lug to lug and 12 mm thick. Ref:
