Looking for help with info regarding one of my vintage watches.
I picked up this pink 18k Omega chronometre last yr. Im aware its one of two very similar watches made in a limited edition of a few thousand pieces to commerorate Omega s 100th anniversary in 1948, and I know it comes with the first automatic movement made by Omega. I also know mine is the smaller variation, and the other watch is similar looking except being slightly larger dia, but recently I read an eBay listing which described the watches as having solid 18k gold dials, and this I heard for the first time.
Is this true?
Also, can anyone tell me the exact numbers these watches were made in? Pics of my watch attached.

It is also my understanding that these dials are 18k gold, the smaller
(such as yours) being smooth-laquered, with the larger simply brushed. These are in any case beautiful and historic watches. I don't know the production figures (although an email to Omega would probably yield them), but I have noticed that there are vari...
