Trebor’s vintage watch collection

At Trebor’s Vintage Watches we specialize in restored vintage watches, including Omega, Longines, Rolex and other quality antique and pre-owned mechanical wristwatches. We do not normally sell current production timepieces but do offer a number of “New Old Stock” watches. We are based in Montreal, Canada and ship our professionally refurbished watches around the world. We have been in business for 25 years and have had a presence on the Internet since 1998.

All of our vintage watches are sold in good working order. Most have been serviced by our watchmaker, or in some cases were recently serviced elsewhere and have passed our watchmaker’s inspection. Servicing normally includes complete disassembly, cleaning, oiling of the watch movement and timing and adjustment upon reassembly. If during reassembly any parts show excessive wear the watchmaker will replace them with new original parts (if available), will find parts from another vintage movement or will sometimes make a part by hand. The outer case may be lightly buffed to remove surface scratches, and if required a replacement crystal installed. An original dial showing some patina and age marks that still looks nice will be left alone, but often the aging process has gone beyond looking nice and in these cases the dial will be professionally refinished (we always indicate if a dial has been refinished in our description). Most of our restored old watches are fitted with new leather straps. In short you will receive a magnificent looking antique timepiece that has been fully restored to its original condition.

#5444 Heuer Carrera cal 11 world’s first automatic chronograph

Status: Available for $2985

Contact Seller

This is a great example of late 1960’s vintage Heuer Carrera automatic chronograph which was a real horological breakthrough and the first of a new generation of watches. This timepiece is in a stainless steel screw back case and has a great looking blue dial with white sub-dials and hands. The Heuer Carrera cal 11 was the very first automatic chronograph, the prototype was released in 1968 and developed by a consortium of watch manufacturers that included Heuer, Breitling, Hamilton, and Dubois Depraz. A month after the cal 11 was announced the competition (Movado/ Zenith group) revealed their auto chrono the “El Primero” The cal 11 was only produced for two years and was replaced by the cal 12, a similar but higher beat movement. This watch has been serviced by our watchmaker and is in excellent working condition. Photos are not actual size of watch, it measures 38 mm across (not including crown or pushers) x 40 mm lug to lug and is fit with a good condition, high quality (used) blue leather bracelet.

#5446 Omega flightmaster cal 911 - circa 1971

Status: Available for $2995

The flightmaster chronograph was made specifically to be used by pilots and today is one of the most desirable and collectable vintage Omegas. Besides the usual chrono features found on other Omegas (such as the speedmaster) this watch has an extra hour hand, the blue hand, for GMT or another time zone. The watch is a real eye grabber with its four dials, six hands, 3 crowns and two pushers. The upper crown on the left side of the watch is used to set the GMT hand while the lower one rotates the inner bezel which is under the mineral glass and is used to measure elapsed time. The reference number of this watch is 145.036 and the movement is a high quality Omega cal 911, manual winder. It is interesting to note that while many first edition flightmasters (c 1968) came on steel bracelets by the early 70’s most were supplied on a leather strap, which was considered safer by pilots. This watch is on a non-original steel bracelet which could be changed for leather or even a Nato bracelet. A service manual for the very similar flightmaster 910 can be found on Steve Waddington’s site at http://www.old-omegas.com/860enser.html. The only difference in these two watches is that the sub dial at 9′oclock on the 910 has a day/night indicator instead of the constant seconds on the 911.

This watch is in excellent working condition and has been inspected by our watchmaker. A new original Omega mineral glass crystal has been installed since photos were taken.
