Naiad crown?
Hi Erich, do you mean Seamaster? Mmmmmh this do not really help at mine is a Speedmaster...
Do you mean that early Seamaster, Railmaster and Speedmaster all had Naiad type crowns?
I have now heard that this extra logo might be a distinctive sign of omega sport watches exported to central and south America in the early 60's.
Does anyone know more about this?
In advance, thank you

Winding crown with three-armed cross within omega logo
I attach a close picture of the crown of an early Speedmaster showing the usual Omega logo but with a three-armed cross within. I would be very grateful for any information about the meaning and significance of such an added sign. In advance, thank you Zt...
I have seen it on vintage...
Hi, I have seen them on vintage Railmasters... " Naiad" waterproof crowns... They increase sealing with increasing pressure... This is what I recall from the back of my brain... but I stand to be corrected... regards erich

Thanks cicindela
I am slightly puzzled by the fact that we do not see more often. I know that crowns are often replaced. Maybe they Omega only produced Naiad cown with this logo for a very short period?
Well, well, well...
You have to question the thinking behind fitting a pressure/depth responsive crown to a watch that had such limited depth capability though...?
Interesting
Thanks for your input. The watch in question is such an early speedmaster. Ztirual
