It's a CK2915-3 so it's most likely...

Hi Ralf!

It's a CK2915-3. So it was made before Omega stamped a year on the caseback. However, not all is lost... Since we know the CK2915's were made in 1957 and 1958, and the CK2998's first appeared in 1959, I'd wager that this one is probably a 1958 or maybe an early 1959 model. I haven't run the numbers to Bienne though.

We know that Wally wore a CK2998 on his Sigma 7 Mercury mission and this model is the closest thing I have to that watch. So I'm wearing that one today.

Cheers!
