Description from the seller
OMEGA Center Second Ref. 2802-1 SC Cal. 471 SS Automatic (1950s)
This is a stunning vintage automatic timepiece from OMEGA, manufactured in the 1950s. This particular model features the rare 400-series movement, which saw significantly lower production numbers compared to other calibers of the era, making it a highly sought-after piece for vintage enthusiasts.
The watch features a classic silver-white refinished dial with a combination of Arabic numerals and pencil hands. The 33mm stainless steel case offers a refined, understated presence on the wrist, embodying the timeless elegance of mid-century watchmaking.

・Condition Report
Dial: The dial has been professionally refinished (redone). It is in excellent condition with no major damage or fading to the lettering and tracks. The hands and indices show some honest aging, consistent with its vintage character.
Case & Case Back: The stainless steel case shows light surface scratches and minor scuffs from use. The snap-back case back shows some opening marks, but the engravings remain crisp and clear. No significant dents are present.
Crystal: The acrylic crystal has some minor surface scuffs, but it remains clear and ensures excellent everyday visibility.
Strap: ※Due to export restrictions under the Washington Convention, the belt is not included. The watch will be delivered without the belt.
