omega polaris multifunction in titanium?

[ronalddheld]

All right, calm down.

I have never seen a Titane in anything other than stainless and gold. The multifunction version is fairly uncommon.

[ronalddheld]

How many people regularly posting here own any version now?

I have the small (32mm?) analog Polaris in Gold/SS, but no multifunction. I have seen titanium analog models for sale.

My son has a four-button chronograph one. I bought it new in, I think, 1986, and gave it to him a few years ago. I haven't had a chance recently to measure it but I would estimate 39 mm. This is a limited edition of 1000 for the Calgary and Seoul Olympics and I thought it was Ti and gold. Next time Matthew visits I'll check the size and see if there is anything about the material engraved on the back. Omega replaced the case back when I sent it in for service so it no longer has the original limited edition number.
I also had a couple of ordinary, non-chronograph models of similar but smaller design.
I don't think the chrono movement would work in the smaller case because of the four buttons but I don't know whether the multi-function ana-digi movements would interchange or not. I don't have either of the smaller ones any more and the guy I sold them to has since died.

Thanks for the input, yes there are a couple variations of the watch which are different in size. The one you mention is larger than the standard Polaris, I believe it's 37mm in size. However, I do know there is a multifunction version of the watch, same size as the original, but only done in SS. I've also seen pictures of the movement of the multifunction, which I'm not sure but appears to be a different shape than the original movement. I haven't seen a picture of the original movement outside of the case.



For one reason or another, I've never seen the multifunction case back open. I do know the case back does have a different design. Oh well, I guess I'll have to either go with
a regular Ti or XL Ti.

I have the multifunction movement in a Semaster casing... and today (maybe) I get back my Titane month-day version back from the watchmaker (keyless works didn't, at least not reliably... of course it was 'perfect' according to the vendor). The month-day movement is TC -- same one I have in a Semaster(?) casing.

[artec]

SEAMASTER, no?

[Eeeb]

SEAMASTER, no?

Yep!

Not to get all OT, but I would be mad if Omega took my numbered LE caseback.
