How much did it cost to buy Omega in 1970s?

I have been in the watch circle for decades and have seen many old watches. Most watches are meaningless, and even in the end they can't be changed hands, and no one wants them. Even so, these old objects carry memories of that era. In the second-hand market, Rolex and Omega have a little reservation compared with domestic old watches, and we often hear old cousins tell us about the process of buying old watches at that time. Here are some examples.

1) How many meters did a worker do in the 1970s?

Before we talk about Omega, let's talk about the well-known Rolex. An old professor in Hangzhou told a story with an old Rolex: At that time, on the first floor of Hangzhou Department Store, there were only five Rolexes and the only gold watch in the kitchen window. The old professor studying abroad bought a gold periodical for 1200. At that time, it was already the top luxury of the whole department store, and there were only a few places in the country where Rolex could be seen, including Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nanjing. Of course, the value of this watch will double in the future. According to the gold watch at that time, the basic Rolex was around 7-800.

2) How many meters was Omega in 1970s?

After the story of Rolex, I believe that all my cousins at that time knew the value of Omega. Omega's highest value in today's China at that time was the constellation series. The price is about 1000, the basic omega is about 300-500, and the average price is about 500.

3) What watches did people usually wear in the 1970s?

At that time, there were wedding slips, sewing machines, bicycles and watches, all of which were standard for marriage. At that time, when materials were scarce, it was not easy to buy anything. Only some advanced members of the factory wore watches. The most common watch must be from old Shanghai, and its value at that time was about 80- 120 yuan, which was not a small sum at that time. This shows the consumption level at that time.

Tips summary: the old watch is the product of a certain era, and people have thoughts. I remember the price of a watch. Sometimes old objects have this function. When you take them out, you can recall the time and year. What's the story of your watch? Please leave a message to share.
