Here is a unique vintage Omega gentleman's watch that may not be available again for a very long time. This exquisite timepiece boasts an original factory dial that is in excellent aged condition, showcasing the kind of character that only years of history can impart. I particularly love how the original luminous features have taken on a beautiful green hue over time, adding a touch of charm and authenticity to the watch.
The watch has been professionally serviced to ensure its longevity and performance, and its manual-wind movement operates smoothly and accurately. This model features the renowned Omega caliber 283, known for its reliability and precision. The serial number 11814860 dates this watch back to 1949, making it a true collector's piece from an iconic era in horology.
The unpolished original solid stainless steel case measures 35.6mm across (excluding the crown) and 43mm from lug tip to lug tip, striking a perfect balance between elegance and robustness. It includes the original signed crown, and the case model is CK 2537-7, which adds to its overall appeal and collectibility.
This watch is fitted with a brand-new crystal and an original metal case gasket, ensuring that it is ready for daily wear while maintaining its vintage integrity. It comes with a high-quality 18mm genuine leather strap that enhances both comfort and style. In the photo, the wrist size is 6 inches, giving you an idea of how it looks when worn. This is a stunning vintage piece that would make an excellent addition to any watch collection or serve as a timeless gift.
