Speedy packaging

Anyone hear of a 3861 coming in a wooden box? I didn’t know any better and several people have told me that is wrong. I watched my AD take it out of the brown shipping box and its in a wooden box with everything inside

Definitely wrong box, the watch is actually shipped to the OB/AD separately in a small see-through plastic box. Then the OB/AD places it in what should be a small black box, there are tons of unboxing videos online you can see to know exactly what you should be getting.

I would definitely demand them to give you the correct box.

Ye that's not the right box.

I got this one (photo off the internet):

My 3861 did not come in a wooden box, though my Seamaster did

First, congratulations

Post a picture of the box for us please.

As others have said, it should come in a black box as pictured above. Is this an authorized Omega Dealer where you purchased?

[diver2012]

The box comes with a Moonwatch book that fits in a special hole so is specific to the Moonwatch. You can see the red horizontal line under the watch box in my photo. That's the book.

You also get a travel case as well...some people don't realise this can be removed from the box...

The newer wooden box has the travel case too. Never seen a Speedmaster in one of these ‘humidors’ though.

And some nicer 3861 photos in the thread below:

I talked to my SA today….he was so excited that we were able to get the Snoopy neither of us thought about the box the 3861 was in. We are swapping boxes next week when I pick up the longer strap. Thanks All

Here was the incorrect box

When did they start using this box for the Seamaster? I bought mine in December and it doesn't have the travel case. That's a really cool feature.

At some time in early 2022 to middle of 2022; best of my knowledge. The photo shows my acquisition from late December of 2022. Keep in mind that the AD combines the watch and the box, so, I did not know which version I would receive.

I think that's a nice feature to the newer boxes. Hopefully I'll be able to find one of those travel cases on eBay. I've got two of the older wooden boxes and really like those ones as they are.

Omega boxes have certainly come a LONG way, for the better. A lot of the boxes from the 80s, 90s, and early to mid 2000s completely fall apart or transfer dye to anything it contacts.

It's nice to see this changed so years down the road fantastic watches like the ones above will have a box worth keeping (hopefully) for those who desire to do so.

Yep - really love what Omega has done with its packaging. The travel case is a nice touch, though its a little boxier than say the green leather service pouch rolex provides, which makes it harder to actually travel with lol. But it does provide a nice way to store the watch when not being worn that is outside the giant box. I remember when I got my the 3861 speedy and saw the shipping weight was around 8 pounds on the tracking

My speedmaster moonphase came in the wood box from the OB, and looking online all of them for sale have this box as well, so some Speedys do come in the wood box but obviously not all of them.

Ah. Thanks for the correction.
