I agree that Vintage Omega design language is pretty amazing! Surprisingly, this one was from Ebay. I found it with some serious time left on the clock so I was able to dig into the research and verify a lot of the parts before placing a bid.
I have bought from Omega Enthusiast before and he does some great stuff. A little pricier though compared to some other sites depending on what you are looking to spend.
@Aurelian I agree completely. The fun is in the exploration and community that comes with that. I have found similar dial renditions but have yet to find another with a sub dial without numerals so I am still on the lookout.
The cut-off six is hit or miss for me. If you can barely see it, I don't mind it as much but when they try to keep a good amount of the six it looks too disrupted.
I think you are right about the dial movement combo and would track.
@Aurelian @santiago @SimplyVintageWatches Thanks for your help!
@Aurelian and @SimplyVintageWatches You guys are the best! Thank you. I have a good amount of vintage already but usually am able to find information a little bit easier or they are Gruen watches which are pretty much untraceable.
Sounds like we are getting close to an answer! Here is a photo of the movement from the seller that might help. It looks like it says "CHs Tissot & Fils Swiss" and "Fifteen Jewels" which sounds like we are in the early 1950s.
Also, thanks for the info @SimplyVintageWatches! I didn't even realize it came out before a lot of other brands pushed out their antimagnetic ref. Excited to have a historically significant piece.
Thank you for the insight! That is good to know a date range at least to start with. I don't have access to print ads at this time. Where would one go about finding print ads to get a firm date?
