The Omega Museum Cosmic Moonphase
Sometimes you just can’t help falling in love……
Strange as I’m not one for complications, don’t own a pink / rose gold watch and prefer a round face but I just have the hots for this wonderful piece from the Omega Museum Collection, in a limited edition of 1,951.

A good description here from an old auction:
The Omega Museum Collection, “Cosmic”, Collector’s Series Number Two.Produced in the late 1990s. Fine, “carré galbé”, astronomic, 18K pink gold gentleman’s wristwatch with triple date calendar, moon phases and an 18K pink gold Omega buckle.

Good afternoon, I’m looking for a watch from the museum collection and I don’t know wich. My friend saw it on someones arm. It must be a one with white dial and square. He thought from the years 80 is that possibly?

Hi. I have this watch with a cream dial and is # 172 0f 1951 pieces made. I was told by the AD in Switzerland that it is not a limited edition however. I have tried to get more info from Omega through their customer service link on their website but it has been 10 days or more and NADA. Does anyone have anything on my paricular model to share? Thanks

I recently was bequeathed a square face “moonphase” with a cream dial. I was told it is from circa 40’s or early 50’s. It was completely tuned by an Omega master and he commented that it was in great shape. Does anyone know where I can find out mor information about it? I too have attempted through Omega with no luck.
Thanks!

Hey Scott,
You can contact Alain Monochan at The Omega Museum.
He is a great guy and do all he can to assist you. He helped me with my vintage, and my re-edition. His email is private, so if you email me I will email him and CC you in it.
Regards,
John

To JOHN:
John, do you know, where I can buy Cosmcc Moonphase with blue or black dial? Not necessarily circa 1952 (first edition), I’ll be happy with Museum one. My email is:

Maybe Alan can help? Any information will be highly appreciated. These watches is my dream for years and years.
THANKS!!!
George.

I have 1658/1951, and the watch is stunning in person. The original watch was introduced in 1951.
The Musuem watches are a design over 50 years old, and Omega produces a number related to the year of introduction (for the first seven watches). The most recent, the Marine, was in a much more limited edition of 135 watches (for the depth rating in feet).
While popular, the Musuem watches are pricy and all of the models (except possibly the Marine) are still available new. Most can be found preowned as well.

That’s a stunning watch. I’m jealous! I almost bought the Apollo Mission commemorative watch in a black dial with gold case, but didn’t because it was automatic, but rather manual winding. Do you know how much it is worth?

Hi,
I recently purchased a 1948 Museum Collection re-edition with the coaxial movement, but it came from an Omega dealer who didn’t have the original box. I have photos and number of the watch in the series and would like to get the original materials that came with this wonderful watch.
You noted somebody above who could help me. I can provide photos and the early number in the series of this watch if that helps, but have contacted Omega directly a number of times, with no response. I am happy to pay to get another box and materials, as I like to keep all the provenance possible on my watches.
Best regards and thanks.

P.S. I believe the edition was #5 in the series.
