The fully serviced 20F manual wind movement operates reliably and keeps accurate time, showcasing the precision that Omega watches are celebrated for. The solid stainless steel case is unpolished and retains its original signed characteristics, maintaining its integrity and charm. It features an original unsigned crown, which is a hallmark of vintage Omega pieces from this era, particularly those fitted with the hermetic-type crown, demonstrating both functionality and style.
The acrylic crystal is in outstanding condition, further enhancing the watch's appeal. The movement serial number 8032958 indicates that this exceptional timepiece dates back to 1935, making it a valuable addition for collectors. The case dimensions are 22.2mm across, not including the crown, and 38.6mm from lug tip to lug tip, balancing elegance with practicality.
