A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE SPECIAL WATCHES FROM A PRIVATE COLLECTOR

2915-3 Tropical Dial

  • Omega Speedmaster
  • Serial 16649789
  • 2915-3
  • Delivered to Switzerland, 5 August 1959
  • Correct 7077 bracelet Endlinks are Repro No 6
  • Price $27,500

A rare opportunity to acquire a correct, original 2915. This has the correct short sub dial indices on the dial, BASE1000 bezel, long needle running seconds, unique movement ring, very good 7077 bracelet, with repro No 6 endlinks

This is the -3 with the long alpha hands (longer than the later 2998). This hand was only fitted to the 2915-3 and some early 2998-1. As you can see it nearly touches the hour marker.

The original bezel is the black BASE1000 bezel. Like many I have seen, these are hard to photograph in studio lighting. 

It also has the unique to the 2915-3 movement ring with the two holes in it.

This example has the correct short indices dial in fair condition. The case shows some corrosion at the lip. The BASE1000 bezel is better than most. 

Unusually, this watch comes with an Omega extract.

It is very rare to find a correct 2915 with an extract from Omega.

At this price, it is far rarer  than a 2998 and with more interesting specification.
