OMEGA SEAMASTER REF. 14755-61
The first professional Omega Seamaster was introduced in 1957, along with the Railmaster and Speedmaster. The Seamaster name had already been used for some Omega dress watches, but it was not until 1957 that the name was dedicated to a series of models that Omega had developed specifically for professional underwater activities. Reference 14755-61, like the present example, is a rare transitional reference made between the very first Seamaster models and the later redesigned references (165024 and 166024) which came with an enlarged bezel and a 42mm case with twisted lugs.
The overall condition of the present Seamaster Ref. 14755-61 is very good. Despite slight signs of aging, the dial is absolutely flawless and exhibits a beautiful orange patina. The case has probably been lightly polished in the past, but still has its original factory proportions, strong lugs and sharp bevels. The caliber runs correctly, the bracelet is in very good condition, the bezel has no cracks.
All components are correct and original to the watch, including the dial, bezel, caseback hand set, crown, caliber, bracelet and end links.
The watch comes with an Omega Extract from the Archives confirming the 1962 production date and delivery in Kenya.
Serial Number 18296XXX, Year 1962.

LONGINES CHRONOGRAPH 13ZN “DOPPIA LANCETTA” REF. 5699
In the mid-1930s, Longines developed the 13zn, which would later become one of the most famous chronograph calibers in the world. According to many connoisseurs of vintage watchmaking, it is one of, if not the most elaborate and valuable in-house caliber of that era. The 13ZN caliber was used for several years and then replaced by the 30ch. Longines chronographs equipped with the 13zn are undoubtedly marvels of vintage watchmaking. Among the most famous of these chronographs is undoubtedly the so-called Longines “Doppia Lancetta”, which means “Two Hands” in English. The watch is equipped with two central chronograph hands that indicate both the seconds and minutes, suppressing the minute register. The 13zn Chronograph “Doppia Lancetta” was produced in various versions in steel and gold. One of the most popular models is certainly reference 5699 like the present specimen. With its bold, oversized and water-resistant case, it is certainly one of the most sought-after 13zn wristwatches.
The present Longines Chronograph 13ZN “Doppia Lancetta” is a very honest and well preserved example of the famous reference 5699. In all matching original conditions and never restored, the watch comes with a most likely unpolished case, a very clean movement and a strong patina dial with some luminescent loss on the hands. All components are correct and match including the engravings on the case back and lugs.

OMEGA CONSTELLATION REF. 168019 FULL WHITE GOLD
Constellation is a model series that was manufactured by Omega since the early 1950s and is still in production today. The Constellation series was produced in many versions, references and using several variants of dials, movements and materials. However, from the very first models, Omega’s goal with the Constellation series was to provide its customers with a COSC-certified watch. For this reason, all Vintage Constellation models were certified by the COSC, and to further emphasize this fact, they all had a caseback with a medallion depicting the Geneva Observatory, crowned by a constellation of eight stars. Another interesting feature of the Vintage Constellation models is the presence of a star and the name of the watch above the 6 o’clock index.
This Omega Constellation Ref. 168019 is an extremely rare example with a white gold case and bracelet. Very few white gold Constellations have appeared on the market, as they were produced in extremely small quantities. Exceptionally well preserved, likely unpolished, with a flawless dial and featuring a stretch-free mesh bracelet, the present Omega Constellation ref. 168019 is a great watch for any Omega collection.
