I’m not quite sure. But I think the first Speedmaster was from 1957 & this UG compax from 1960s

Omg, that's look so nice! #vintage piece in great condition. Congrats!

So that case and styling was essentially “of the times” rather than unique to Omega.

Very nice and very classy.

This one has similar lyre lugs case design with UG Polerouter, designed by Gerald Genta.

Yes - I definitely can admire the Polerouter, and do, but their prices have tripled/quadrupled in the last three years. So they make no sense (to me) now - and have obviously attracted the fakers too. Lovely classic timeless design but too many risks and pitfalls for me to get seriously involved.
