: I'm assuming that on the face/dial of Omega watches that sometimes
: the "A" in Omega has a pointy top and sometimes it has
: a flat top. Can someone confirm that there is no standard for
: the particular shape at the top of the "A" in this
: particular location?

: Thanks in advance.

Well, that's a rather broad question since Omega has appeared on watch faces since about 1884. There have been several fonts used, and many variations of those fonts.

So, let's narrow your question down:

>> what era?
>> what watch collection (Seamaster, Constellation, etc.)?
>> what model in the collection?
>> is the Omega painted or an applied metal piece?

The short answer is that Omega has made many watches, in many collections, in many models and used many fonts on the word Omega on the watch face. They have used different fonts on different models in the same collection at the same time.

However, there have been more similarity during a given era than not.

Please make your question more specific and provide photos if you can . .
