Omega

...  

My watchmaker, with his large bag of tricks, usually clean those dials and fix the potential flaking lume on the hands (avoiding parts of it to go inside the movement), without changing the lume. Maintaining, of course, 100% of the originality. Congratula... 

well known watch !! quite peculiar is the Najad crown ( snap back type ) , thus the absence of the " A " before the delivery number. maybe just very few dozens ( a couple ?? ) of W10 were delivered in 1967 without the screw-down crown.

in my records ... but will share them only if allowed by the owner !

1970? Best, Nicolas

W10 ( Brithish Army ) deliveries : little more than 300 ( all in 1967 ) 0552 ( Royal Navy ) deliveries : around 750 ( roughly 200 from 1967 to 1969 , around 550 in 1970 ).

In the past years... But I didn't know these numbers! Thank you. One more thing: Is it correct to say that these Military Seamaster are much rarer than their cousin, the Rolex Milsub? Best, and Grazie! Nicolas

almost the same .. but much less military Omega have survived and much much less in pristine conditions ( due to big waterproof capability problems dials were often changed as damaged and so on ). just for example I have in my records pictures of around 8... 

The Rolex cousins. Best, Nicolas

When you say deliveries from 1967 to 1970, you mean the production year, or the delivery to the British Army / Royal Navy. A " 1970 " may be been produced in 1967, for example, but the case back will be engraved with a " / 70 ". Best, Nicolas

production year corresponds to delivery year as you can see from watches with Omega certification. time delay between production and delivery is just a few months.

The Watch has been delivered to the British Royal Navy in 1967, but whose case back is engraved " / 70 ".... Impossible? Best, Nicolas

most likely back has been changed ....

the first 3 digits of movement number ??

at least movement is in the correct range for a 1967 Omega milseamaster. if you have any pics you can well send them to my mail address.

Grazie, Marcello. Grazie. Nicolas

Hi Marcello, Please go ahead. Thank you very much for the comments and info. I know so little about this watch. Regards, Chong
