: Does anyone know the value of an Omega
: Seamaster Professional 2850? Someone told me
: it was a special addition but I can not find
: any information on it. Any info would help.
There was a model 2850 Seamaster--it was from 1956 and was a special edition connected to the 1956 Olympics. It looks like a normal Seamaster dress watch, but likely has the Roman numeral XVI on the dial below the Seamaster name and somee inscriptions on the back.
If that is what you have, then it is quite special. These were made of solid 18K gold cases. I understand many of these were pulled from dealers shelves after a dispute with the Olympic association over the use of the Olympic logo on the back. So the ones with the Olympic rings on the back are especially valuable.
If it is in excellent to mint condition, it might be worth $1,500-2,700! Definitely worth getting it appraised by someone who deals in collectible timepieces.
But if this is NOT a Seamaster "Professional" model. The Professional line wasn't introduced until the late 1980's and is exclusively diver's style Seamasters.
