For sale is an amazing 18k yellow gold Omega Tresor in a 36mm wide case from about 1961. What is cool about this piece is that I swapped an OEM Omega 1894/1994 anniversary dial into this Omega 2896 "Tresor" in 18k YG case. These dials rarely come up for sale and they're worth between $300 - $500 IMO.
This is what the original configuration looked like in 1994 - Japan market only.
I am selling this example because I have a few other pieces with the 1894/1994 dials. Here are some pictures. The 2896 Tresor is a larger size at 36mm diameter (excluding crown) and is very thin in overall height. The watch movement was serviced and is running perfectly.
As a bonus, I am going to include the original dial that was installed by the Omega factory in the Tresor. This dial was swapped over to the below stainless steel ref. 2890 case. The movement was serviced and is functioning perfectly.
So, I am offering a nice two-watch deal. If you wish, you can easily swap the original Tresor dial back into the YG 2896 case. I think the black special edition dial from Omega for the 1894/1994 is much nicer looking. It matches the YG case of the Tresor perfectly. The 2896 case is very hard to find and the ones I've seen that come up for sale are either damaged or super expensive.
I'm asking $2,200 for the entire package of two watches. PayPal accepted (F&F no fees, G&S 2.5%). Free shipping in the USA with USPS Priority Mail with full insurance.

Bought a used Omega Seamaster from @hockey. He was very responsive, sent the watch THAT DAY, and I received it just a few days later, professionally packed and if anything, even nicer than advertised. Great experience and would definitely purchase from Phil again without hesitation. Brian
Founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He travelled throughout Europe selling his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar, troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control. Due to the greater supply of manpower, communications and energy in Bienne, the enterprise moved into a small factory in January 1880, then bought the entire building in December. Two years later the company moved into a converted spinning-factory in the Gurzelen district of Bienne, where headquarters are still situated today. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as, the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success.
