Omega

I would like to share with you few photos of a watch that I re-discovered very recently following a change of its strap: The Omega Memomatic The Memomatic is an alarm wristwatch issued by Omega in 1970, as you can guess from its 70s funky style. It is the...  

Thanks for sharing the post on that Omega. I love it! It is funky looking but definitely has a depth of character. The self-winding alarm that can be shut off by a push button is really a nice and unique feature. Wow, I am really glad to have seen this on...

Kong, my memo sounds exactly like on your record ! Great ressource you have posted here, Thank you

Thank you for your nice words, respo. I can understand your interest in alarmwatch. It is a larger field than usually expected, - starting from the early pocket watches, - going through the 50s to 70s icons: Vulvain Cricket and JLC Memovox - and being rev... 

. . . one of the seminal albums of my generation, too . . . cordially, Art

And I can add that this album also left its mark on the later generation!

I post hereafter the specifications of this mouvement (source: Omega Saga ) - Self-winding (one single barrel for both time and alarm) - 21600 A/h - anti-shock device - quick set date with a discrete correction pusher at 3 o'clock - alarm - 19 jewels - si...  

To fully appreciate it! This was another of these excellent suprises of our GTG, Marv. Mechanically interesting, aesthetically charming, this watch deserved a post like this . I love a lot the idea ( and the fact, here), of the double repere for the Alarm... 

its a bit of a forgotten Omega and great to see one in the flesh after selling mine 2 years ago. i know its been to Bienne for service, but that original dial is in minty condition. i think the name indicates its purpose as they intended it to be a 'memo'... 

And I have still in mind the beautifull early Seamaster 300 you brought with you. You are right to precise that this watch was sent to Omega Bienne 3 years ago for an excellent service. And my main recommendation was followed: "please don't touch the dial... 

... having contributed to this post! How ? Because of this new strap , that enabled me to re-discover this watch. Hope to see you soon for other surprises!

But it was a common discover, as you were with me when we ordered these straps. I put exactly the same one on my Tribute to Polaris 68! See you soon! As for surprises, I think I know what you're talking about... Best, Nicolas

Pretty good for a 40-year work. Thanks for the pics and writeup, MARV. I've to change my straps too, yours now looks good. Kong

...with its twotone rally strap. When I decided to change the strap, I looked for ideas, saw your combo and found it very attractive. All the best, Kong!

and great undervalued watch, of course. Cheers Jeff

that was a very interesting post in deed. I just acquired my memomatic not to long ago and a good friend draw my attention to this post. Here's a quick and dirty pic of mine...not in such a great condition but still......  

Thanks for sharing that... It reminds me of my Seiko Bell-Matic except for the fact that the Seiko has an auto movement but the alarm is wound by the crown. I also don't think that the Seiko can be set for such a precise alarm time. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Marv, Please could you tell me which make/model of watch strap you've used? Looks great, but much harder to identify than the album cover! Many thanks!

but I exercised restraint, which is difficult for me but yours is a lovely example - enjoy
