: Got an Omega from my Father. he can only
: remember that he bought it in 1957. It is
: solid gold with an 18 on one band lug. It
: says Tachymeter on the face, split on either
: side of the very top of the face above the
: v-(Tachy 60 Meter). The watch has a white
: face with only "OMEGA" above the
: center point of the hands. The watch has a
: stop watch with three small dials at 9
: o'clock, 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock that count
: seconds, min and hours. The buttons for the
: stop watch are flat rectangular lug type
: buttons. I have been unable to find any
: information about this watch or photos of
: the model. Any help?
Does it look anything like this?
The watch pictured is my 8217-S "No-Model Name" early-1950's era c.321 Omega chronograph. At the time, there were no Speedmasters and the Seamaster had only been on the scene for about 4-5 years and Omega still made Chronographs with no model names.
I don't have any further information on my example, but if you were able to get a serial number off of the movement of yours and sent it to Omega via their vintage information service, they may be able to provide you with some additional background information.
For your convenience, I've placed a link to the portal on Omega's site.
Good Hunting!
