Re: Teutonic ( & related ) fans - New Info ! *PICS

In Response To: Teutonic ( & related ) fans - New Info ! *PICS* ()

:
: Hi Guys,

: I recently came into possesion of
: "parts" of an '83 '84 & '85
: Omegas dealers binder. There are hundreds of
: pages in it.

: Here are some scans that will interest Teutonic
: / Speedmaster fans.

: This scan is dated 1 July '84

: (click on the scans for larger versions )

: So what is so interesting ?

: Firstly. Have you ever seen a 1045 movement
: with a 2 character day ? This would suggest
: to me that the "teutonic" was
: maybe not originally just intended for
: German speaking markets. Or maybe this was a
: prototype. Whatever, this watch never came
: on the market like this.

: Secondly, This Dealers catalogue came to me
: from the UK !

: Thirdly, look at the top left corner. as late
: as 1984, Omega still considered the
: Speedmaster to be a "sub-line" of
: the Seamaster range.

: This scan is from march 1985.

: The comments made above are also valid for this
: scan.

: There is also a pricelist, dated 15 April '85,
: in the binder. It is in a mixture of English
: & French & there is no currency
: mentioned anywhere.

: The 376.0806 is listed with a price of 1100,
: the "normal" speedy ( 145.022 )
: fitted with a leather strap is listed with a
: price of 750.

: The next scans are a completely new watch that
: ( as far as I know ) has never been seen
: before.

: I have seen a "plain" titanium
: version. It is shown in the German '84
: Catalogue.

: & there is one on display in the Omega
: Museum in Bienne.

: However on the museum example, the digital
: window is a fake, aluminium foil, stuck onto
: the dial.

: So, back to the Titanium/Gold version ... It is
: briefly mentioned in the German Catalogue,
: but no Info other than that.

: I don't believe that Omega made either of these
: watches for the General public ( ie they
: never got past the Prototype / catalogue
: phase ) , but who knows.... maybe 1 or 2
: escaped the factory !

: Now shows us your Teutonic Speedies !!

: Steve

Very cool information
