Hi guys, I got this dial from an awesome member about a year or two ago, I can't remember who it was [can't check my PM box as most are gone due to the moving] but whoever you are thanks again!

At first I thought this was lost in the mail as it never arrived [this was 1-2 years ago], 3 months after I thought all was lost the package arrived and they said they found the package a day or so ago, sweet!

Anyways, it measures 30mm, blue wave dial with rose/yellow gold surrounding the lume markers, hands are also rose/yellow gold [tip of the seconds hand is orange] - It doesn't show in the crap pics, but the lume has aged very nicely to a creamy light-brown colour [interestingly enough, the markers at 12 have a little bit of lume on top of the gold rim on the lume marker, not visible unless you look really, really, REALLY close]:

It says it's for the Cal. 1111 & [ 064 PT 3033 007 ] - I have no idea to which SMP this belongs to, any ideas?


--Sorry for the extremely horrible pics!-- I took them with my cell phone.

064's are definitely dial #'s. Without the hash at 3 I suspect it's for a midsized bond. Or the packaging is a coincidence. I have the Omega book, it doesn't list dials unfortunately. Caliber 1111 is a 2892 mens' caliber as you may already know.

I'm guessing its a Seamaster Professional Chronometer (model 2531.80.00) – 1997

Good try but the gold surrounds and hands makes this very difficult to know. The 2531.80 is a cal. 1120/1109 and would have a glowing hash at 3. Keep digging though. :)

I bet it's a blue version of this watch. http://www.vintagewatch.ca/?cat=3

Thank you for your help so far guys, it's weird, I thought at first it was a dial for the mid-size, however it measures the same as the Large SMP dials @ 30mm. :wacko:

Sorry I didn't see this until now. It is for an early 90's Seamster 300M. You can put your aspirin down now.

Thanks fake but the dial does say 300m, hands are also different from the 200m which had either Mercedes type hands or plain sword hands, the ones with this dial are skeletonized sword hands.

There is no model that used that dial. It is either an irregular or a transitional.
