Hi mates,
I'd like to buy a watch for my 35th birthday.
Would you suggest me a watch dated 1977?
Thanks!

Any specific budget in mind?
created for 1976 olympics but were continued afterwards so you should be able to pick up a 1977 one..
1977? it can only be:

I'd like to spend maximum 1k€.
A not-chrono model?
Also handwinded would be fine!
Omega Mariner I, 1310 "Ant" movement, first Omega in-house quartz, rock solid, sapphire crystal, high precision.
If it were me, then I would go for a Rail dial Rolex 1665 Sea Dweller (which was only made between 1977 and 78).
Like this one
Great watches and a very nice thing to own.

Only problem is that it costs about 10 times the TC wants to spend.
Although I always tend to say: Go for a Speedy (even do-able for 1k€), I would tend to say for 1977. go for one of theseearly Quartz models......cheap as Chips for an incredible piece of engeneering...
Hi mates,
the 1665 is WONDERFUL!!!
That 10 times the budget is not so acceptable :D
A speedy could be only twice the budget :wink:
Maybe with some efforts I can buy one?
has to be a steel Omega of some type that was typical of the era.....my dad's steel Constellation from '73 has come right back into fashion !!
You might just stretch to one of these, and i think they were still selling them in 1977; although they are a love-em-or-hate them kinda watch!
STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!Originally Posted by colin t

The reference is 176.007, produced between around 1972 and 1977.
All of the 70's Omegas are fantastic!!!
