·Hello all omegaforums’ members.
I want to share another one in my collection, added around 1 week ago.
It was Omega seamaster ref.2849-1 with uncommon waffle dial, serial no. 14,894,xxx (around 1954-55) and powered by caliber 503.
In my opinion,
- The dial was original with beautiful and uncommon waffle pattern
- The font of “OMEGA , AUTOMATIC, Seamaster, Calendar” was correct and original
- The hours markers were original with uncommon mixing with “Arabic number” at 6/9/12 o’clock"
- The luminous in hour-markers were intact and original
- The hands were original
- The case and lug condition was acceptable with some scratches
- The crown was original omega crown (however I am not sure , is it original come with my watch?)
- The caseback was original
- The movement looks clean and correct (19 jewels can only seen in early model of ref.2849, mine was 2849-1 then later be changed to 20 jewels)
- The crystal with magnifier date was original (I believe it was the special order of this crystal)
From my research about ref.2849 both versions of dial can be correct with (as attached pic below from www.omegawatches.com and without “calendar” under “seamaster”, while without seamaster word was less common.
The outside of caseback can be correct in 3 patterns with “seamaster” and “waterproof” word in all model.
1. Smooth caseback (like mine)
2. Small Seahorse
3. Large Seahorse (rarest)
By the way in Omega ref.2849, it was uncommon to see this waffle pattern in this model, I can find around 4 watches as I attached the photo.
Note: please see the different pattern of "S" in "S"eamaster of this black dial but it was the correct one too.
In addition, all of cream waffle dial (including mine) used the different hour-markers pattern.
My wrist shot:
Duo of mine “Champagne Cream Waffle Dial” with same color tone.
Thanks for watching and need your comment.
About my crystal and crown, please shed some light on.
Best regards,
Teerapat
