amanico shares his deep affection for the Omega Seamaster 300 CK 2913-3, a vintage diving watch he considers among the finest, as it undergoes a lengthy service. His post captures the unique sentiment collectors feel for a cherished timepiece during its absence, prompting reflections on expanding his Seamaster collection.
Just because I am madly in love with this one, which is, in my opinion, one of the nicest vintage diving watch.
Just because it's been 14 months I sent it for a service, with a few others.
Just because I deeply miss it.
Funny how we feel the love for a watch when it is away...
Actually, I am quite happy to see that it is in some expert hands, and it will be such an excitement to see it again after all these months!
During its absence, I am starting to wonder if I will not dig a bit more into the Seamaster Diving History and try to find some more...
A - 7 Lollipop, for example, a 14755, the ref which came after, and, why not, a Ploprof, to end in beauty?
Anyone else had this Madness in mind?
Best,
Nicolas
The Omega CK 2913 is a significant early example from the brand's professional series, distinguished by its robust construction and focus on specific functional requirements. It represents a foundational piece in a lineage of watches designed for demanding environments, emphasizing legibility and durability. This reference is part of a trio of professional tool watches introduced concurrently, each tailored for different specialized applications, and it stands out for its particular design elements that cater to its intended purpose.
This reference typically features a stainless steel case, designed for resilience. It houses a manual-winding mechanical movement, known for its reliability and precision. The watch is fitted with a durable crystal, contributing to its overall robustness. The case dimensions were chosen to provide a substantial presence on the wrist while maintaining wearability, reflecting the practical considerations of its era.
For collectors, the CK 2913 is a highly sought-after reference due to its historical importance within Omega's catalog of purpose-built timepieces. It appeals to those interested in the development of specialized watches and the evolution of design principles focused on utility. Variations within this reference, particularly concerning dial and hand configurations, are points of interest for enthusiasts, highlighting the subtle distinctions that define its different iterations.
.....this one is on it. I want one with a lollipop hand, but WHAT a watch. Its as you say....perfect vintage diver. This is definitely one I "need" Nice post...and thanks for reminding me to re-double my efforts
CK 2913 / 2914 / 2915? That is another way to go into the Vintage Omega World... Add a nice 33.3 Chronograph, a 2777, a 2042, a nice Connie, and a manual winding Chronometer, and you are done! ;) Best, Joe. Nicolas
I see it somewhat differently..... 2913 lollipop or otherwise is something I must get. 2914....well, that is somewhat sorted, but i have to say I may dig deeper on the 2914.
There was a ref just after the 2914, which shares the same case, but with a slightly different dial. Interesting! Best, Nicolas
Hi Nicolas. here is my Railmaster 135.004 Pakistani Air Force (confirmed at Bienne) - very tasty IMHO. Ciao Franco [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL]
