Vintage Omega c.269

Post by 124watchfan » Fri Aug 05, 2011 7:25 am

Well, here is post #2 of my collection. Had saved a little and couldn't pass it up. Omega caliber 269, an iteration of the famous 30mm movements of the 40s. This is why there is a "30" on the dial. It hasn't been serviced yet but its in pristine condition except for a small chip off the crystal. This one will be my daily wear dress watch. Its a very classy piece. I really struggled to take decent pics to try to show the gold hands on the white face. And the back is like a darn mirror with very light etching. You guys that take great photos are to be respected. :salute:

Thanks guys. Yes it is indeed a subsecond watch with crosshair. No bevel just applied directly to the face. Very subtle. One really needs to see these in person to appreciate all the workmanship. The movement is also mint. Omega vintage pieces are just outstanding.

That's great Mike. A vintage Omega is one watch that my collection always lacked. I'd love an old Connie.
