Presenting a truly stunning and rare mid-size vintage Omega gentleman's watch, a timeless piece that captures the essence of classic elegance. This rare find showcases an attractive and well-aged factory-original finish black dial, with waffle texture, enhancing its allure. The watch features an original set of dauphine hands, which not only complement the dial but also lend a sophisticated touch to the overall design.
The manual wind movement, which has been professionally serviced, operates smoothly and accurately, ensuring reliable timekeeping. At its heart lies the Omega calibre 420, with a serial number of 15297438, dating this exquisite timepiece to 1956—a vintage model that embodies the craftsmanship and style of its era.
The solid stainless steel case remains unpolished and is in remarkable condition, measuring a robust 32.7mm across, not including the crown, and 42.4mm from lug tip to lug tip. The case design is truly unique with those lug designs, and it wears perfectly on a smaller wrist. It features the original signed crown and is identified by the case model CK2722-1 SC, making it a collector's delight.
A brand-new crystal has been installed to protect the dial, along with a new rubber gasket for the case back, ensuring that this watch is not only visually striking but also in excellent working condition. It is ready for daily wear and comes complete with a high-quality 16mm handmade genuine leather strap, adding both comfort and style.
For scale, the wrist size shown in the photos is 6 inches, demonstrating the watch’s versatility. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or looking for a sophisticated accessory, this Omega watch is a remarkable addition that will surely turn heads.
