General Description:

If you open google and type in Omega 376.0822 you will find all the info on this magic Omega watch: so why magic: only sold 1600 times in 1987/1988 and thus very collectable.

Here is what I found on several web pages about this "HOLY GRAIL"

"On the first look the case seems to be the same like the moonwatch case. That's only half of the truth. To fit the 1045 movement, the case is a bit higher than the hand winding one. On the bottom you can see the engraved seahorse but without the famous words.The second part of the case is about 1mm thicker and more massive. It has crown and pushers protection. The diameter is the same, 41,5mm"

The376.0822 is such famous, that there is a special website from a privat owner where you can apply to get access to: there it shows all currently (known) owners of this watch: thus a very exclusive club.

At the omega page in Switzerland you can sign in at the vintage watch section and find all technical details of this watch.

Origin:

This watch was sold 18-08-1988 in central Germany to its first owner (from whom I got the watch). Original retail price was 1500 German Marks (750 Euro). The watch was worn about 2 years from that point and ended up in a drawer till I purchased it.

Technical Conditions:

The movement is running very very smooth and winds up like a snoring small cat. I do have many Lemania driven watches in my private collection and can confirm, that this watch is technically 1000%. The Start-Stop-Reset function is perfectly working, the day and date setting works 100% and of course the watch is running like 1 out of 1000.

Cosmetical Conditions:

Pictures to tell more than words. The watch I would rate near Mint despite the following 3 remarks (I want to be very very critical with this boy: especially at this price range): 1) the crystal could be polished: may be one prefers a exchange (this is done for 20 euro). I personally would keep the original plexi crystal as this one is still more than acceptable, 2) the luminous marker is missing at the 12 position: this is hardly recognized as the hands are most of the time on top of this position, 3) The side line of the case shows some little wear which could be polished away: the brushed finish is still intact as also the very sharp edges between the change of the inner brushed to the polished to the side brushed finish. I personally would not work this case up.

Extras:

The watch comes with its original papers: 1211 with matching numbers to the case/model/movement number. This makes it a very special ST 376.0822: I never have seen one with original papers yet: one of my collectors friend did: however maybe he dreamt  of the one offered here...
