    In 1948, Omega introduced their first Seamaster watch in a 34-millimetre case, and the case design is known today as the Beefy or chubby lug Seamaster. In 2018 Omega reissued this Seamaster with an increased diameter of 38 millimetres. But what some Omega watch fanatics do not know is that in 1949, Omega introduced an oversized version in a 36.5 millimetres case, excluding the crown, under case reference CK 2493, also known as the oversized beefy lug Seamaster watch, which lasted until early 1953.

    I bought the Anniversary 1948 Small Sec, after following ur channel 2 years back, as I truly like the classic look of the CK2493. I've learned so much from all ur videos. Thx. 👍

      Awesome! Thank you for sharing. It's actually quite rare to find the original vintage small second version due to those leaf-type hands. Omega probably intentionally selected those hands for the Heritage piece.

    I have fallen in love with the 2657 waffle dial! I see that you currently have one on your site. Are all prices fixed?
    Thanks

    Nice video with a lot of useful information! I have the seamaster 2494 gold-plated (gold filled) in 36mm and if someone could help me with the article number for the clover crown it will be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    I have a OMEGA SEAMASTER Automatic ref: 166.5032Solid 9ct that’s 36.5 mm it’s from the late 60s I like bigger watches thanks for sharing

    • @TimelessHistoryChannel
      @TimelessHistoryChannel  Рік тому

      Nice! What you have is a UK market 166.032. It’s 9k and had the extra 5 in the ref number. International market version will just be 166.032. I’ve made a video on the date version only, but mentioned the day date version in there as well. ua-cam.com/video/LhFYrhGDRIU/v-deo.html
      I’ve sold several pieces, I find them to be great watches but very underrated and undervalued.

      Thanks for the reply I here they are rare but not necessarily valuable I was lucky enough to purchase it with the original box and international warranty booklet and purchase invoice for 2500 Australian dollars I love it especially the gold fluted bezel

      @@lezzybum3656 Nice! And that's right, this reference has the fluted bezel. Their regular version has a smooth sunburst bezel.
