Hiya folks I've just received an Omega watch which was my Grandfathers. I am of course unsure whether it's real or not. There is no inscription on the back besides "Stainless steel". This also appears on the watch strap itself. Unfortunately my Digital Camera is not with me at present so this picture is the best I can provide. If it's not good enough, I'll do a proper macro shot on Monday. The text which appears below the Omega symbol is "Seamaster Automatic" Any help would be greatly appreciated.  | ||

You do realize that your picture is mirror-reversed left to right? This watch appears to be a late 40s or early 50s Omega Seamaster automatic. It may have a caliber 34X (bumper automatic aka 28.10) or a later rotor movement (470 or 490). The bumper movement is easily recognized by the "thumping" sound made when the watch is rotated. To learn more about the watch you will need to open it. Note the movement number and the case reference number (on the inside of the back). | ||

Hi Thanks for the reply Jim  I hadn't even realized that the image was mirror'd. Thanks. I finally managed to get this watch through to a guy who works with Omega and he gave me the following numbers: Calibre: C2576/7 (he said stroke and I assumed it was a /) Movement: Omega1344 Machine Number: 13493224 Hope that helps | ||

The case reference number is 2576. The caliber is 344. The serial number of the movement is 13493224. Production date is around 1951/2. You can use the case reference number to look up information about this watch at Omega's vintage web pages (free but registration required). See link below. http://www.omegawatches.com/cu_vintage/main.php | ||

I'm trying to get some information on a watch that belonged to my wife's grandmother, and haven't been able to find it on the Omega site, but I'm unsure if I know what numbers mean what. This is an 18k gold ladies Constellation Automatic Chronometer. The brick-link band is marked with the Omega symbol and the number 750, as well as the number 767.800. The gold screw-on back has two numbers on it, A54954 and 567001. The movement is marked with two different numbers, one with the Omega sign and the number 672 below it, and then a ?serial number? on the outer edge of the movement, 23383393. It may be that I am entering numbers in the wrong places on the Omega site's search engine. At any rate, any advice on how to value the watch would be appreciated. Pictures included. Dennis  | ||

This looks like a ladies' version of the Omega Constellation "C" case. I tried to find it on the Omega Vintage Database without success. However, here is a reference to the Omega Constellation "$1,000 watch" on Omega's web site: http://www.omegawatches.com/index.php?id=257 The number 567.001 is the case reference number. 672 is the movement caliber, or model number. The serial number in the 23 million range would put it to around 1967 or so. That's a really nice Omega gold band. This one was top of the line in it's day. Hope this helps, gatorcpa | ||

Patria Ladies wrist watch: This watch was my Grandmothers and cannot be wound up but seems to be in good shape otherwise. The wrist band has 10-1 marked in each link and is expandable but I do not see any gold marks on the watch itself. I would assume it�s a pocket watch converted to a wrist watch. The serial # is 10074972 on the case and 7 jewel, 2 ADV, Swiss with Patria W. C. stamped in the movements. Other than that I haven't much else to go on. If you can tell me anything else about this watch I would greatly appreciate it. Not sure what its worth but I would like to get it working again. Michael Koch | ||
