yours is definately 'the sun' symbol watch...the only one i've ever seen is ying yang

from what i can gather they were a pretty short run and certainly not very popular at the time in UK. thats normally the way of things, a bit over the top for its time but mellows with age.

having owned over 100 Omegas in the past there are very few Quartz omegas i would buy. this watch is quite small for my tastes and would suit my wife better, but if you've got smallish wrists its a nice piece.

new dials are readily available on worlds biggest on line auction site, ying yang being most common so you should be able to restore it at minimal cost. when you consider restore please bear in mind that vintage Omegas can be picked up for very cheap money, far less than they should get so dont overspend.

i've kept 3 of the Museum pieces which i will take pics of very soon.

Hi, Thanks for the post... Knowing the model name really helps. Of the three types of Symbols put in these watches, I am wondering if the one I have is the "Sun"? I know it isn't the "Yin/Yang" as that seems to be the most popular with plenty of pics on t...
