Re: how old is myvintage omega

In Response To: Re: how old is myvintage omega ()

Yes the Ref number seems to indicate that it is a model KL 6736 which was one of the 'National Production' Seamasters cased in the US by the US distributor Norman Morris Corporation.

These dated to around 1968 - 70.

The quality of these US cases was very high and NM had several casemakers produce cases for the US Seamasters including Star. The movement belongs to a family of calibres that were considered the best Omega ever made and its brother the calibre 561 is regarded by many as the best production movement ever made.

I'm assuming the case is a very minimalist design with straight lugs. Classic mid-range styling for middle America.

Cheers

: I beleive what you posted is the reference # on the caseback. The
: serial # is on the movement and is a 7-8 digit number with no
: letters. Post that if you have it and we can nail it down for
: you.
