Vintage Omega Seamaster 600 – 136.011 – Caliber 611
Dating from the early to mid-sixties this Seamaster 600 is really a very classy example of a vintage Omega. Still surprises me just how cheap these go for, you should be able to pick a decent example up for no more than £250 with a little patience.
I normally shy away from gold plated Omega’s but the combination of the low price and those rather funky elongated Arabic numerals turned my head, I’m glad they did.
Dressy in a sporty way and looks much better on the wrist than in the pictures. I recommend everybody has at least one

I like good value Omegas……….I have a feeling prices will rise!! This will only be because of the internet!!!!!!!

Omega put the same movement in their Seamaster 120 dive watch, though it doesn’t have the date feature. I just picked one online case ref 135.027, cal 601. This was probably the last non-auto Seamaster Omega made as a pure, “no frills” dive watch.

Are the calipers shown in the photo (featuring the name “Omega”) from the Omega watch company? If so, may I inquire about source(s) for purchase? Thanks!

I bought a stainless steel Seamaster 600 back in August, on eBay, that was in need of a full restoration. It is a cal. 601 with case number 135,011. I sent the watch down to Omega in London and asked them to do a full restoration, which was movement, case, dial, crown and strap. After about ten weeks, and £335, the watch arrived and it’s fair to say they did an excellent job. The only problem I have is that the case has some very bad corrosion that can’t be removed and it spoils the watch because everything else is perfect. I sent it back to them and they’ve examined it thoroughly, but it needs a new case and they’ve also confirmed that Omega can’t supply a new case for this watch. Sorry to rant on, but if anyone could advise me on how it might be possible to get a replacement stainless steel case for this watch I’d be extremely grateful. I don’t want to have to buy a whole new watch just to use the case from it!
Thanks & regards, Alasdair.

I have a 600 in stainless steel with a black face, in almost mint condition. In place of usual dashes, it has numbers and hands in flurescent green. Any ideas as to who might have wanted such a model?

Sorry no!
I think there is a tool company of the same name, I snagged those in the picture from ebay.
If you really like them Dell shoot me an email and I’ll send them to you, free but you pay the shipping.

Hi
My son has been left a Seamaster 600 (no date function, 12 3 6 9 in arabic numbers) which I think dates from 1964. My uncle worked as a radio officer on an oil tanker around that period. It is not in great condition – slightly scratched, winder does not seem like the original… but it does appear to be working well. Based on photos online, it appears to be a genuine watch, but where can I go to get it assessed properly… or is it even worth doing this? I have seen it listed as EUR 150 – 200 in value.
Thanks for any assistance,

I’ve just bought an Omega that was sitting in the window of a small watch repair shop in Camden.I was smitten by it’s elegance and simplicity.I was actually scouring places for a vintage Seamaster to replace a stolen one but I’m more than happy with my purchase,(£250.00 with 12 month warranty).
I was searching the web,trying to glean some information on the watch,when I discovered the omegablogger.I’m hoping you can satisfy my curiosity.I tried Omega’s official site,but their vintage search section returned nothing.
The watch face is champagne coloured and has one arabic numeral marking 12.The 3 and 9 are marked by arrowheads and all other numbers in diamonds(rectangles) all in gold,by the way.The winding crown is signed and the face bears the omega symbol and the name,omega,and nothing else.The watch was sold as solid 14 kt gold and on opening it I found Swiss hallmarks that confirm this.The serial number on the gilded movement is 12409476,which semms to indicate a 1950 build.Is this right?Two other numbers appear on the inside of the case back.11019245,which I think is the case serial number and just below it,2495,which I think is the case reference number.There is a hallmark on the outside case where it meets the 7 o’clock lug,but I haven’t anything powerful enough to actually see it.It’s a lovely watch.I’ve always loved Omegas of the 50’s and 60’s and my first watch was a 1965 Seamaster that my father gave me on my 12th birthday,so I’m delighted with this one.I would love to know more about it and I’m hoping one of the obviously extremely knowledgable people here will be kind enough to enlighten me.Thanking you in advance.Jack Cade

Hi,
I have a vintage Omega 600 that my wife purchased on ebay around six years ago. It has been sat in a drawer ever since! I think she paid around £90 for it. It has a gold case and a stainless steel back. 600 is written under “seamaster” just above the 6o’clock position. There is no date function, and no numbering on the face. The stainless back has the Omega “seahorse?” omega sign and the word “seamaster”. It also has a sysmbol that I do not recognize (a triangle within a circle). The watch is manual winding, and has a non-original leather strap. Basically, I’m after a valuation, or offers if anyone is interested. I am happy to send photos to you if you email me. Regards, Tim (UK) email: timmarris@hotmail.com

I have an Omega Seamaster that my father purchased in approximately 1955 while in England. I cannot find a comparable picture that shoes the same face. The date window on his watch is at the 4 oclock. I have not taken it anywhere yet to have it cleaned but I would like to know the model if my vague description helps.

I have inherited an old omega watch from an aunt. I am trying to do some research on it to find out its history. I can’t seem to find the caliber number on it. What I do know is that it is a men’s watch, tonneau shape, sterling silver (0.925) back, 15 jewels, ADJ2TWO positions and has the number 7904003. The inside of the back of the watch has the number 839147. I would love to know the date and if it has any value. I appreciate any help.

Hi – I have my grandfather’s solid gold Omega automatic Seamaster – he died back in the mid 70’s and had been wearing that watch for years and years prior. It still runs perfectly, has few scratches on the round face (which is a whitish silver matte finish) – no numbers, just gold line pieces and a symbol represents the “12″. The wrist strap is also all gold. On the very bottom of the face “swiss made”. Any idea about approximate value?

Hi Omega Blogger. Thanks for the excellent blog. I have become addicted to these watches! Can you or anyone tell me the difference between a plain Seamaster and Seamaster de Ville? I recently purchased an automatic Seamaster with a date function. The de Ville’s especially the ones with the arabic numbers at 12, 3, 6 and 9 are gorgeous but I can’t seem to locate any to buy.
Thanks!

Hi Omega Blogger.
Somebody is offering to sell me a “60’s Ladies Omega” It says “Omega” and has the symbol on the face, but no model name. Also, the back does not have the Omega symbol. Am I right to be suspicious of its authenticity?

Hi.
I have inherit a OMEGA SEAMSTER 600 with the number inside the back: 135 011…it is in a gold case and stanless stell back. How can I tell if it is 9 or 18 ct gold?

Hi all! When I first saw this watch I’ve fall in love with it! Beautiful watch. I’ve purchased mine recently in a very good condition apart from the strap which not surprisingly ain’t genuine and the crown which looks replacement (no omega logo on it). I don’t do business with watches and I only adore the look of them so sorry for my ignorance in this field. Does anyone know where is a good place to buy an original crown (and what should I look for exactly) and a nice matching strap? Thank you for all your help! Olly

Check out this great vintage Omega Automatic Seamaster circa 1965 I have for auction on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230490181250&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:US:1123
The photos don’t do it justice but as a true Omega lover, I can tell you this is a beauty! Thanks for looking if interested.

How do you open the watch case for the 1960 omega seamaster de ville?
is the movement being access from the front?
it seems that there is a joint above the winding key
