Re: Omega Seamaster identification
In Response To: Omega Seamaster identification ()

: Trying to identify when watch was made. Haven't opened case -
: should I to check for a serial number? On back it says Seamaster
: and there is a Sea Monster and it says waterproof. Front, inside
: it says Omega, Seamaster, Swiss Made. On the band there is a
: marking that says 11/16 Genuine Pigsloin. Pictures below, please
: help identify anything that could help narrow it down to a year
: or something?? Possibly a value.

:
This is a monocoque (no removable caseback) Seamaster which probably has a calibre 56X movement. The movement is accessed from the dial side by using a special tool to remove the crystal.

While you dont show a pic of the dial I imagine its a Norman Morris encased model (Omega sent movement and dial to US and its agent cased the watch there)

These watches are becoming increasingly collectibe because of the quality of movement under the bonnet.

Cheers

Desmond
