Re: Help with identifying rare Gold Omega watch
In Response To: Re: Help with identifying rare Gold Omega watch ()

I am selling it if you know anyone that may be interested! Thanks!

: Anthony,

: I have two of this same model in 18k/SS. This
: model was known as the Speedmaster Classic
: or Speedmaster Heritage and sometimes as the
: "Golden Gate" model. They were
: only manufactured in the early 1990's.

: I understand that the movement is a modified
: Valjoux designated as an Omega 1150. As far
: as I know, no stainless version was offered.

: They were available from the factory with the
: hesalite or sapphire crystals. My 1990
: Classic has the hesalite while the 1992 has
: the sapphire.

: As to the value of the all gold, I can't say as
: I have not been fortunate to find one for
: sale but IMHO the Classic is the most
: beautiful and desirable of all the
: Speedmasters.

: Regards,

: John
