Re: Omega symbol?
In Response To: Omega symbol? ()

: I have a vintage omega that was purchased in
: the early 1980's in Europe. After contacting
: Omega I was still left in the dark about its
: model name and thus any confirmation of its
: authenticity. However I'm even more baffled
: about the number 20 followed by an omega
: symbol between the lugs. Can anyone tell me
: what exactly does that mean? The watch is
: gold(well color anyway) Does that mean that
: its gold plated? THe movement numbers on the
: inside of the case back and on the movement
: itself seem valid and the watch looks like
: either an Deville or Constellation model but
: on the dial there is only omega sign and
: automatic at the top of the dial and swiss
: made at the bottom.
I 20 and Omega sign means it is gold plated 20 microns thick. in regards to the type, I do not think it is a constellation.....look at the back of the watch it has to have the observatory sign if it is constellation.
