(Serial
number)
Omega
watches come with a serial
number
that gives you information
on its year of production.
An
Omega serial number or movement
number,
as it is sometimes called, is a
unique
seven or eight-digit number
which is etched into the watch at time
of production, most times into the
movement,
as is the case with this one.
Numbers
that span from 11,000,000
to 11,999,999
= 1947 onwards and
this
elegant watch falls into this date
range.
The
crown on this watch does not
have
the Omega symbol.
Omega started to sign
all the crowns
and crystals around
1950.
Some say it’s from 1945 onwards, and
others say it’s sometime between
1947 and 1950 and so
it is very
possible this is the
original crown
as it dates from
about 1947 but
can’t say for sure.
Later Fixoflex band
stamped
Made in Germany
EDELSTAHL
and multiple Patent numbers.
It is very unisex
style and looks
great as a ladies watch as well
as being a smaller
sized
gents watch.
CONDITION
It is ticking away nicely but
is running fast so needs a
service.
It has been serviced at least
five or six times in its life as
per the watchmakers scratch
marks inside the back case.
Cannot tell you if everything is
original as it has been to the
watchmakers so many times
but the dial looks to be touched
up in our opinion but we are
not watch
experts.
As stated above the crowns
didn’t have symbols until after
1950 or slightly before so
this one could be original.
The domed glass or crystal looks
original as it is
reasonably scratched
and looks old
to me but once again
can’t say for sure.
The dial has marks around the
perimeter as you can clearly
see in the photos.
Later German Fixoflex
band is
still in very good
condition and
still nice and
stretchy.
DIMENSIONS
The case
measures approximately:
25mm square
excluding crown.
It
weighs: 44.5 grams
