While I had the idea to make this video, I thought it was going to take me a couple hours to complete and move on with my daily work. I initially thought it was going to be no more than a 5 minutes long video, but the more I go through my photos I realized that this video is going to be a big job. At the end, this video took me a full day to complete. Please support this channel as I am taking a lot of my precious time to educate you guys. I do apologize for the music low volume.

Have you ever see vintage seamaster SS Bracelets with Tiffany & Co dial?

Good job & thanks a lot for compiling such a one which is greatly appreciated..
Salet merci
60's for me ! Did not know the dog leg lugs were still in use in 1973. Thx for the effort you made for this vidéo !
Thank you for the comment! That's right, but this model would use a different caliber.
1935 Retangular, 37, 38, 38 black dial, both 39's, almost all of the 40's and 50's + all Seamasters and Constellations. 👍 Thank you 🙏
Let's just say you pretty much liked 80% of what you see. lol
@@TimelessHistoryChannel That's about right :-)
Love the 1960s. Something about the shape of the case and the design of the dials - very balanced.
Amazing. And now 73+ please 🙏🏼
Transfixed by the beauty of Omega's designs through the decades, a fantastic effort, Omega Enthusiast!! Very well done!!
many thanks as always! Very time consuming making a 10 min video apparently.
1930! I have a beautiful omega t17 caliber and I love it!
The 30's and the 60's are my favorites. Thank you for educating me.
You're welcome. That's the main purpose of this channel.
1948 and 1966. I just love the original Seamaster design
Very nicely put together. Without doubt, my favourite is the second one of the four shown for 1967. Thanks
Many thanks! And thank you for the comment!
I appreciate your well done videos and look forward to seeing them. Thanks.
I appreciate that!
i love the 60's ;)
1937 rectangular is my favorite year and model.
If only they can bring back some of these case designs would be nice.
Love the designs from the 30's!
Great as always...... Keep up the good work....
1943,1961 and 1969(Gold).😊😊Awesome video bro!!
I'm a big, big fan of the 60s......Watches and Music.😎
Great video, great watches. Late 60's and early 70's models 👍
Thanks for watching!
Hi Sao !!! Thanks for you time ! My wife really enjoy this video, and my son too ! You are just an amazing person !!! My wife is from El Salvador, I’m from Mexico City and my son is from Los Angeles ca, we live in Los Angeles... good bless you Sao ! See you.
You’re welcome Hugo and very happy to hear that. :)
Your collection is simply stunning! Congratulations from a fellow collector!
Many thanks! Glad you liked them.
I own a 1969 Seamaster 120. I bought it new in 1971 in Switzerland it was my daily until it leaked in 2006. Still fun to wear occasionally.
Nice bery rare & vintage Omega watch
Thankyou☺️
It's really hard to choose. So Many beautiful watches. I'd have go for 38. 44. 46.
Fair enough! I know it's too hard to just pick one.
I love the 50,s and 60’s but my favorite is the pie pan constellation
thank you , it's a reference , never seen such a complete history of Omega models /year of release! no words
Many many thanks for the comment. If only I can add more models this video would end up over 1hr long... haha
@@TimelessHistoryChannel patience and work an I hope will be complete, it's a real pleasure to see it ! I will look at it many times , I hope some friends and guys near me will enjoy too!
I hope to be viral!
Thank you! As a watch maker myself, hard working and patience are in my blood. :-D
haha, I hope so!
60s for me are awesome.
1961 pie pan for me is the perfection😍. 1962 seamaster chrono also is fabulos. Thanks for your channel, is fantastic and you make a great job 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻
You’re welcome. Thank you for the comment!
Wow... Documented as good as going to omega museum. Ichiban! 👍
Omega should use this video. haha
I just ordered a 1973 Constellation 168.0065, I understand the 1011 movement isn't as sort after as the previous generation. After a lot of reading though, I'm happy with the decision in the end. This will be my first vintage watch, after months of research!
It’s not the greatest made Omega movement. But with the proper service job by the right watchmaker, this movement can perform better than most movements out there.
Amazings Omegas.
Wow so many different styles. 1962 /63 stuck out for me but i was loving the grey dials too.
Thanks, great vid. Interesting to see that up to about 1965 the designs were more classical, then 1965 onwards quite a few case designs were brought out.
I own several classic omegas One of my favorite is 1 1943 18k bumper automatic. My favorite casual is a 1934 Omega steel which I put a colored
Nate strap , I has the Old style Omega script on the insides. I am working to bring back a 1926 silver officers watch . For money Omega watches are batgains to other swiss watcg
Hi,most models are nice and unique I like the 1937 ,the constellation 1952 and my birthday
Year the 1967 thanks for the time to make this video.
Hey Hey, thank you for leaving a comment. I know it's too difficult to just choose one piece.
I love seamasters deville from the sixties, especially the ones with 560 caliber, I have some of them, and of course the speedmaster, thanks, great collection
Thank you for your input and comment!
Your channel is among the most informative out there. Many thanks! Big fan of the 60's. I have a similar seamaster de ville to the 1971 but instead of blue linen circle mine is gold with a bumpy texture. Been trying to find pics of it with no luck. Not until now. Thanks again!
You're very welcome. Happy to hear that and I think I know which dial variation you're referring. I've not sold one like it for a while now.
@@TimelessHistoryChannel hope this message finds you well. I'm having a hard time sourcing a case for my linen dial omega seamaster, LL 6287/1
1234589 with cal. 550
I love this watch but both right top and bottom lug are bent. Any help is greatly appreciated. But i understand if you can't reply. Anyway thanks again for the best omega vids on utube!!!
@@jimygallardo9491 You can bent them back by using a double layer cloth and pliers. But best to let someone who knows to do it for you. Two things can happen if you do it wrong. 1. You can break a lug, or 2. You bent incorrectly and can warped the metal.
Thank you soo much!!!!!
Thank you !!!!
Favorite : 40's and 50's
what is your favorite decade ?
@@leopimouguet9314 If I am forced to select one it would probably be the 1940s.
1968 seems especially nice to look at. Some people may find the design elements too rectangular, but somehow it hits the mark for me. They have this "graphic" quality, which enhances the readability, perhaps. There is just a sense of balance... 1968! I also feel the 50s designs, which preceded the pie pan, accomplished a similar feat with the two-tone dials, while being a bit more subtle.
Thank you for the input and remarks. Not to mention that there are a few models from early 1960s still in manufactured in the late 60s. Couple examples would be the dog leg Constellation and the Seamaster Deville. You will see them throughout the entire early 60s to early 70s.
VERY nice...!
Thank you very much!
Loved them all apart from the very early rectangular ones !
Little sad to hear that since I do like rectangular models, haha. But it's your personal preference after all and thank you for the comment!
Happens to own a genuine 3903 reference, Gold Automatic -Unrestored- Cioccolatone of 1947 which works fine. I think it 's so sad not to mentioned here at all as a model , also in the Omega's timeline as well!
Excellent work thought.. Thank you very much for the time travel !!
Thank you for the comment. Unfortunately, I do not have a photo of a 3903. Sold one a long time ago before smartphones era. To avoid complaints I am using images of my own watches (and those that I’ve sold)
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support!
I know you left me a question. I will get back to you soon! Swamped this week working on a huge site update. Check out my website if you have not yet done so: www.omegaenthusiastltd.com
You might have a hard time leaving the site once you enter. haha.
Very. Nice vidio sir
I'd have to go with the 1960s versions, with the Pie Pan Constellations being particular favorites of mine. I own one, which I foolishly had the dial refinished on when I got it 20 years ago. The dial looks better than it did, but you lose the crisp edges when you refinish these. The 561 movement still keeps +2 seconds/day when serviced.
Thank you for the comment. That's right, it takes a very good dial maker to properly refinish a pie pan and retain the sharp edges. But regardless, of how great the refinish can be a specialist will still be able to tell whether it has been redial or not.
The Pie Pan without a doubt...
Great video! I am involved in watches but really starting to have more and more interest in vintage Omegas recently. Your videos discuss the complexities, details of the complications and variations in case configurations that I cannot find in any printed sources anywhere. Is it possible for you to list any details of each of the models shown here? I understand what would be involved in that. What about listings I specifically ask about? There are some multi-dial chronos in this video that I would like to have the model and movement number. Any knowledge you could share would be greatly appreciated. And again, wonderful job providing the level of information and background in your videos. Your material is truly unique.
Hi David,
Thank you for the comment.
Are you able to message me on my website? The link is available in the description. It would be a lot easier for me to answer you that way. You can just copy and paste the question in the comment, and I'll respond accordingly.
Hi David,
Just checking up. Please email me when you get the opportunity or let me have your email and I'll reply back. :-D
I personally feel that as Omegas got more minimalist and classy they started to lose a little bit of personality, even though they're still very clearly and uniquely Omega in style. The sweet spot for me is the transitional period where many of the collectable models had been added to the Omega range but hadn't yet become quite so identifiably stylised.
Seamasters, Geneves and Constellations from around 1955 - 1962 are the kinds of things I'm talking about. I love the crosshair dials, pie pans, slightly art deco indices, more delicate stainless steel cases, 50s style Arabic numerals etc. I find that patina on original late 50s dials often suit them where on later watches that are a little more sleek it detracts from the clean aesthetic rather than adding to the period charm.
Some absolutely beautiful movements in that time period too, both mechanical and automatic.
Thank you for sharing this with us. Greatly appreciated!
Fantastic presentation of Omega history! Chronograph from 1940, field watch from 1945 and triple calendar moonphase from 1950 are absolutely stunning!
Thanks for that!
Surely some of the nicest designs in the industry. Thanks for the video! By the way, what's the music? It sounds familiar.
Honestly, I am unsure as I randomly grabbed the music from my video creator app.
Very nice, but it would be even better, if you could put under each watch the modell and number! Thx alot for your great content
Noted. I should have done that. Wished I have more time to work on these videos. Unfortunately, I have a full time job as well. And this particular video if I remembered correctly took me a full day to create. Luckily I had many photos saved up. Which saved a lot of time.
I would go for the Seamaster de Ville 1965!
Well anything 30T1 and T2, is insane that they build those things back then, the Artdeco stuff, huge dial sub second, the 1966 seamaster 600 and the one missing the chronostop 1968 or 1969.
Fair enough. Can't really go wrong with anything you pick
Bonjour,..D'abord merci pour vos publications ,.. de votre enseignement à nous guider et le partage de votre expérience.. Perso, j'aime la Constellation acier de 1960.. elle a l'élégance d'un bijou et reste masculine.. Les années 60's avec indexes, sont épurées et classes.. ..mes préférées...
Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire et votre contribution. Il y a beaucoup plus de choix à choisir dans les années 1960.
Excelente colección todos me gustaron puras joyas de colección, también me gustan mucho los relojes, aunque por ahora no tengo Omega el único que podría tener sería un seamaster de los 70s pero se lo robaron a mi papá hace 10 años, espero próximamente poder comprar algún Omega, saludos desde Tampico Tamaulipas México
1960's :)
Wow some beautiful time pieces have passed through your hands. Do the dates represent the first year of that particular model or the year of manufacture of the watch it's self.
Ps yeah baby the 60's.
Thank you for your comment and good question! I tried to do that, but unfortunately, that was not achievable for certain year. For example, certain models will have different hands variation between years. And some will have the print changed between years. Example of that would be a 1965 Seamaster 600 will become a Seamaster 600 Geneve in 1967 and then become a Geneve in 1968/69.
Merci
Thanks, it helped me date my 4th Seamaster as a 1951, it is an automatic with sub second hand, seems to be holding time well. WIsh I could get some crowns and straps for these. I couldn't get the case to open to get the serial no. I can't find my dad's opening tool yet. Strange how the eye misses stuff. watching your video, I noticed the marking at 5 o clock is missing from my dial (just the two holes there) and my3 is missing a tiny bit off the bottom tip... I think it gives more character, but yeah, if you have any sources for this kind of thing...
You're welcome. Unfortunately, I do not supply or sell watch parts. Only offer complete watches.
With regards to a 1951 Automatic Seamaster, then it should carry a bumper automatic movement. When you shake the watch you should be able to feel the automatic weight bouncing from one side to the other.

In terms of a favourite decade, if I can’t chose ‘all of them’ it’d have to be the Seventies, as that was when I was a teenager with catalogues and dreams.
Hello-Thank you for this video. Wonderful. I love the first watch shown for 1957 and would like to find one like it to purchase. Can you tell me anything more to help make my search successful? Such as caliber number, etc? Thanks again.
thank you for your comment. That model is a CK 2937. You can learn more about it in this early video that I made: ua-cam.com/video/nfH9tYQVTDU/v-deo.html
The dial variation will vary, the one in this video is a Bullseye type dial which is uncommon.

Io possiedo appena 3 Omega vintage che sono :121 002 Calatrava(269), 165 039 Geneve Dynamic(552), 166 026 Seamaster Cosmic(565);tutti della distribuzione italiana della De Marchi Tallia e posso dire che sono orologi meravigliosi.IMHO
I LOVE some of these references! As for me? I'm'a start out by finding a proper c. 1969 Omega Flightmaster, original box & papers inclusive. Same scope of delivery when it comes to my c. 1969 Omega Bullhead chrono. So to recap: two (2) funky-ass, large & in charge, idiosyncratic watches from the late '60s-early '70s. & then I'll set my sights on a 1939 gold/silver/copper on black dial, Omega caliber 33.3 chronograph: among the finest executions of a watch dial attempted by any manufacturer, ever...
-MasterVanDer
33.3 would be a beauty for sure! Also a fan of the Bullhead.
I was wondering if you could help me identify an omega watch and advise me on restoration?
Hi, you are welcome to message me on Patreon or create a post on the Omega forum website as there will be many specialists who can help you there.
I saw my seamaster chrono😁!
he was definitely a candidate for this video!
Thank You So Much 😍😍😍🌈🌈🌈🙏🙏🙏
I AM looking to have my omega Ladymatic cleaned and second hand reattached.....i think i bought it about 1971 new. Do you know who i should contact.
I suggest best to ask your local repair shop or ask on the Omega forum for referrals.
I know you are into vintage, but what are your thoughts on the Omega Seamaster 300m?
Never have I owned or worn one. Can't really say unless Omega send me one to make a review on I can tell you my thoughts. But I am very positive that it is a sturdy watch and you can't go wrong with the movement. Buying a watch is not only about looking good, but the mechanism will need to be just as great.
I recently got that 1963 Seamaster gifted to me, do you know what the reference number of it is ?
Omega had many different 1963 Omega references, it would be hard for me to tell you which one is your. You can always create a post on the Omega forums showing a photo of your watch and I am sure someone there will be able to assist you.
6:21 I think it's 125.007-63 sadly not original bracelet
@@TimelessHistoryChannel hey mate is every omega between35 and 75 mentioned in the video or is it just the ones you own
Hi, is tere any similar ladys Omega watch history video?
Unfortunately no
Can you do a review on the Seamaster Deville date please?
There are many Seamaster Deville case model with date. Here is one: ua-cam.com/video/uf7COUUkYfk/v-deo.html
Omega Enthusiast, is it possible that some Seamaster Deville Date doesn’t have the “waterproof” marking on the back?
Absolutely. Some case back will be completely blank as well.
Omega Enthusiast , what is the price range for two tone in good condition from your expert opinion?
I’ve got a 1972 De Ville model 1550007, I didn’t see it in the video, not worth collecting?
No no, please do not misunderstand the video. I cannot post every example there is or this video will take hours to watch. Your Deville is an awesome watch and you should cherish every moment with it.
Why does everyone hate my cosmic? No love what's over. I thought being gold and automatic it would be a worthy time piece. Everyone laughs at it. It's shattering.
I do not think that is true. Seamaster Cosmic is a very nice watch. But condition is very important when it comes to this model though.
1973 Seamaster Cosmic 2000
I see the 1972 Seamaster isn't the 4 dial Anakin. I'm having one restored.
Como puedo saber de qué años es el mío?
omega ba 595.0006
Is vintage?
How much value in market for it?
Vintage Quartz. First introduced around 1978. I do not appraise sorry.
Do you know anything about the old omega on my profile picture
The image is too small. But it looks to be an Omega reference CK 2279.
Can anyone ID the watch at 8:35?
Ref. 166.0140, carries a caliber 750 movement. 35.3mm diameter excluding the crown. 41.3mm lug to lug.
Thank you!
Do you sell something 1962 omega I need to buy I want to buy Can you let me know
This should be my only 1962 piece left on the site: www.omegaenthusiastltd.com/product-page/1962-omega-seamaster-30-6
Anybody have the 1954 reference ? Is that a Seamaster?
Which one? There are 4 different examples. But none are Seamaster. Can let you know the reference number if you like.
1947, 50 Calendar moon phase
1957 Tuxedo dial
1957 Chronometer sector dial

1961 All (birth year)
1966 Gold Chronograph
1973 Square
My oh my, someone thoroughly went through this video. Thank you! Can't go wrong with the two Cosmic Moonphase Triple calendar. The 1973 Square piece is actually new old stock. Haha, fair enough on the "birth year".

You don't have only Deville ver.
Just Deville alone? I do have some, but I couldn't fit everything into one video. And Deville only will date to the very late 60s which there are too many examples already. I also find them to appear too similar to a Seamaster Deville beside the shorter lugs. Sorry about that. :-(

@@lsvemir27 Ah! This model deville. That's correct, there is also the tank case model similar to a Cartier as well. Thank you for sharing! It's a nice watch that's for sure.
No F300 series? Sad
Unfortunately, I am not a quartz person. :-(
@@TimelessHistoryChannel F300 is not a quartz, it's accutron (turning fork), Quartz series was "Omega Megaquartz"
@@SpaceSpice F300 is a tuning fork movement. It has coils and takes a battery that is discontinued but can be replace with a modern day Renata 344 battery. Quartz = battery. I am a watchmaker and an Omega specialist. I am sure I can tell a battery operated watch apart from one that is not.
@@TimelessHistoryChannel "Quartz = Battery" ok mr big brain who knows everything... what than you will say about Moving coil system, contact controlled: refers to watches with a balance wheel with integrated coil, fixed magnets and mechanical contacts. Examples of this technology are Hamilton 500 (first retail electric watch in 1957), Epperlein 100, Champion (Ruhla / UMF), Slava 114ChN and Timex M40. That doesnt have Quartz, they have other principle of work, for example transistors before the age of quartz and Seiko Astron (Quartz series) that was made much more later. - seems "Quartz =\= Battery" and yes you are sure can tell a battery operated watch apart from one that is not".
@@SpaceSpice Ok Mr.expert. Please remove the "battery" out of your F300 and see if the watch still work. Not trying to be smart with you. But if seems like you just cannot accept the true. You ask why I do not have F300 in my video. I told you why and you seem to be very upset about it.
50s and early 60s for me. Definately no the current modern pieces and design as Omega have lost their mojo so to speak IMHO.
Omega joye to madi sake
I will see this watches ple price and he phone
In 1967 things started to go wrong...
Haha, It's ok. There are some really nice late 60s Omega.
Green 1945.
50s through the early 60s but how do I buy an original timepiece? I know from watching u that there are alot of watches put together with available parts. How can I get the real deal?
My website is an option. You should watch my video on buying your first watch and what to look for. It will help you a lot and make you become a smarter buyer.
Maybe a third of them I would wear. I am a sucker for the gold ones either solid or plated with clean white faces and sharp gold hands. A number of them from around 47 took my fancy but in reality I wear ones with the date on them for practicality. It is an envious collection you have. I like the round crystal that is easy to find a replacement. I will watch out for some of these online to add to my collection. Thanks very much for putting them on !
Thank you for your comment.
