How can you tell a fake Omega?
How can you tell a fake Omega?
The omega serial number is a 7 or 8 digit number engraved on the case back of the watch during its production. All Omega watches are stamped with the seven or eight digit serial number. Simply run a cross-referencing search on the serial number displayed on the watch in question. If it does not match, it is a fake.
What is special about the Omega Railmaster?
The Omega Railmaster is best known for its anti-magnetic features. The timepiece is said to be able to resist 1000 Gauss or 0.1 Tesla. The timepiece had a short production run starting in 1957, and ending in 1963 while its trilogy counterparts continued in production.
How tight should watch be?
The watch should be loose enough that you can slide your index finger underneath the band but not so loose that you can move the index finger around. If you cannot slide your finger underneath the band, the watch is too snug. Traditionally, a watch that is a perfect fit doesn’t slide around on your wrist.
Where are Omega watches made?
Switzerland
The brand has proudly opened its newest production facility in Bienne, Switzerland. Signalling the next chapter in its renowned history of innovation and manufacturing excellence, the Swiss watchmaker OMEGA has officially opened its newest production building at the brand’s HQ site in Bienne, Switzerland.
Is the Omega Railmaster discontinued?
Unfortunately, the Railmaster lost the popular anti-magnetic vote to the Rolex Milgauss. Despite a number of special editions for the US Air Force and American Railways, the Railmaster was discontinued in 1963 – a mere 6-year run on the market.
How thick is the Omega Railmaster?
The Seamaster Railmaster comes in a 40mm stainless steel case that measures a hair over 12mm thick. The result is something that feels very sturdy both in the hand and on the wrist without being excessively heavy or chunky.
How often should my Omega Seamaster be serviced?
every 5 to 8 years
Therefore, we recommend that you have the water resistance checked once a year and a complete service performed every 5 to 8 years. Your OMEGA boutique or authorised service centre will be happy to take care of your watch and answer your questions.
Should you sleep with a watch on?
Most watches are uncomfortable and sometimes heavy to wear to sleep. The wrist is easily constricted at night by watches that fit nicely during day use. Unless you can easily change out the bracelet or leather strap to a very comfortable NATO sport strap for sleeping, I don’t recommend it.
