What kind of Boxes and Papers did a Vintage Omega Watch come with?

Even though the original papers and boxes of a watch are nice to have, they do not prove whether your watch is 100% genuine. If the booklet or paper is signed depending on the model, it helps increase the watch value more or less. In this episode, I would like to share a few pieces that come with their original boxes and papers. Unfortunately, I cannot keep everything so most of what I will present in this video will be listed on my website. That's the only way I can generate income and continue to create more content for you guys. Sometimes, the original box may not always be the correct one that initially came with the watch and the papers may not always be signed. In that situation, if the box and papers are at least from the same era as the watch, then it's all good if drastic value appreciation is not vital to you. Hi everyone and welcome to the Timeless History channel with me, Derek aka Sal, the Omega Enthusiast. Watch number one, which I have had for a long time, is a 1952 Omega Seamaster Chronometer watch. Under case reference, CK2520, the This is as complete as one can get. A Seamaster Chronometer watch is a rare timepiece, but I am more fascinated by this document than the actual watch itself. So it comes with a booklet describing and providing a brief history of the Seamaster Chronometer watch, a certificate of precision given to all chronometer watches throughout the 1950s, and a rare office official 28-day timing result certificate and its summary version, which usually gets lost throughout the year. In addition, it also comes with leathers from the shop from which it was purchased. What more can one ask for from owning a vintage timepiece like this? The second piece is also a Seamaster Chronometer, but this one only comes with the original box and the summary version of the official timing result certificate. Similar to the previous piece, the movement was manufactured in 1950, but the watch was produced in 1952 after going through a rigorous series of tests that certify the accuracy of a watch movement. These tests were done through the official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute, known as the COSC tests. Since this is a Seamaster Chronometer with the limited-produce luxury finish chronometer bumper automatic movement, the case reference is KO2518 instead of KO2576, and regardless of its version, you will only see the 2576 reference inside the steel back. Watch number three is a second-generation 14k gold Omega Seamaster from 1954 under reference OGA2767. It comes with the original box and purchase receipt. The difference between a first and second generation Seamaster watch is that the first generation had a screw-in back instead of a snap-on like the second generation. The rare waffle texture black dial really pops in a gold case. Since it is not a Chronometer Seamaster, it comes with a regular finish caliber 354 bumper automatic movement. I know I previously mentioned the luxury finish movement, and some of you are still uncertain what it means. Here is an example of a luxury movement next to a regular finish movement. This next piece is an early Omega Seamaster manual wind watch dated 1957 under reference CK2938. This piece comes with original inner and outer boxes, and the guarantee booklet shows that this watch was sold on March 28, 1958. It carries an Omega caliber 284 manual wind movement. If you want to learn more about the watch models presented in this video, I'll leave links to those episodes in the description box below. This is just a fun and show video of different vintage Omega watches with original boxes and papers. Here's an early Norman Morris US collection Omega watch from 1942 that was sold at Jake Licks and Son in Stockton, California. Because this timepiece is immaculate, I don't know whether it was a display watch or purchased as a gift for someone who had no intention of wearing a watch. I purchased this timepiece without any paper documents, so it is possible it was a display piece and never got sold. It's a nice little watch, but the case logo is the cherry on top. It carries an Omega caliber 17.8 manual wind movement. Watch number six is a 1959 vintage Omega Constellation watch with a calendar feature. According to its guarantee booklet, this timepiece was sold in Japan. This piece also comes with its original box and certificate of high precision, but of course the tag is the cherry on top for this watch. The model reference is CK14393 and it was a highly popular Constellation from 1959 to 1962. Again, you can always watch the links provided in the description box below to learn more about these watches. Watch number seven is a 1961 Omega Seamaster automatic watch under model reference KO14700. It was introduced in 1959, the same year as the previous Constellation. I've seen this reference appear in many different box design. I believe the original box vary from market to market. The Seamaster reference is attractive, but it is underappreciated in the watch community for some reason. It carries an Omega caliber 550, one of the best vintage non-date automatic movements. Watch number eight is a late 1960s Omega Seamaster with a day and date feature. It is under reference 166.032 and is also underappreciated in the vintage watch community. This watch comes with its original box and guarantee papers, as well as an additional template that provides instruction on how to set the day and date feature. The automatic movement is an Omega caliber 750, which is a day and date version of caliber 550. This last piece is a full set vintage Omega Constellation under model reference 168.005, also known as the Jurat Jenta Dark Lake Lugs Constellation. It is one of the most sought-after vintage Omegas on the market, especially with a pipe and dial. This watch comes with its original box, cushion, note tag, certificate of high precision, guarantee booklet, a booklet about Constellation, and a template providing instruction for instant date changing.
