You're way ahead of me Andrew........
But I too started to compile a list of Dennison case numbers vs Omega case numbers, movement numbers, calibers, hallmark letters and years etc.
I also have a very heavy ALD cased 18k snap back, cal 501 seamaster, from 1958
Willing to share info, but its likely that you have most of the info anyway
Cheers, Paul
Dennison Omegas - a potted history
As you may or may not have guessed from my past threads, I have quite a ‘thing’ about Dennison-cased watches (Omegas in particular). They were one of several English companies specializing in casing other manufacturer’s watches. For most of their existenc...
That's a Desmond type article
Maybe he can include it as a guest article on his blog!
Your labor of love...

A bit more...............
When you look at this Dennison Constellation you have the finest case in the finest material with allegedly the finest mass produced movement of all time - it doesn't get much better than that does it? Also as a bit of a teaser, when Edmund Hilliary climb...
your hard work is greatly appreciated

My Dennison Omega
Hello. I've just joined the forum having found it via Google trying to find out a bit about a watch I recently acquired. You have a great thread with loads of info so thought this might be the place to start.
