Omega

Hi everybody, here's my recent addition to my brand new Omega vintage watches collection. It seems to be Seamaster ref. CK 2814 or ref. CK 2687 with a Seamaster dial, mechanical cal. 420 dated 1952/1954. I hope you enjoy, ciao, Roberto

Hi Robi

Please post pics of the back of the watch.  You mentioned two case references... are you not sure which on it is ?  If possible have a watchmaker open the caseback up and take pics of the movement and inside caseback ! .

For some reason the watch looks to be about 30 mm in diameter ....  what are the diameter of your watch in mm ? Also what is the width between the lugs ? ( aka strap size in mm)?

The 420 is a very cool looking manual wind Omega movement with the indirect seconds bridge looking like a arrow / harpoon ....


Good Hunting

Hi Bill,

yes, you are right it is a beautiful movement design - I like it too.

The only pity - it is mostly used in pretty small cases!

Hi Bill,
the case of my watch is approx. 33 mm in diameter and 38 mm from lug to lug.
The reason why I mention two reference #s is because from the Omega vintage site the stainless steel case of my watch seems to be of ref.2667, while the dial of ref. 2814 with red seconds hand.
I will try to have it opened by some expert and I'll post the pictures, ciao,
Roberto
