This is a rare vintage Omega gentleman's watch that was specifically made for the UK market, making it a remarkable find for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The dial features a simple yet striking factory original finish, beautifully aged over the years, which adds to its charm and character.
The watch is powered by the fully serviced manual wind movement of caliber 265, also known as the 30T2, which is currently functioning reliably and accurately. This model is particularly special, as the case, marked with model number 13322, was produced by Dennison, a well-known name in British case making. The solid stainless steel case remains unpolished, preserving its original integrity and aesthetic appeal.
A new crystal has been fitted, ensuring clarity and protection for the dial. The movement's serial number, 12457607, dates this exquisite timepiece back to 1950, highlighting its significance in the history of watchmaking.
With a case measuring 33.5mm across (excluding the crown) and 40.6mm lug tip to lug tip, this watch has a well-balanced size that suits a variety of wrist sizes. It will be accompanied by a brand new 18mm genuine leather strap, ensuring both comfort and style. Please note, the wrist size shown in the accompanying photo is 6 inches, showcasing the watch's versatile fit.
