AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004632

The watch presents a generally very good condition, with signs of use appropriate to its age, well preserved and with an especially attractive aesthetic.

The gold-plated case maintains an excellent presence, preserving its defined lines and the contrast between brushed and polished surfaces. There are slight superficial marks typical of use, visible mainly in the polished areas, but without relevant dings or obvious material loss that would affect its integrity or overall aesthetics.

The dial is in very good condition, highlighting its attractive brown tone with a gradient effect (tropical type), which gives it a unique and highly valued character. The applied indices and hands retain good brilliance and legibility, with a homogeneous patina appropriate for its age. The date window appears clean and correctly aligned.

The Plexiglas crystal shows light superficial marks typical of use, with no cracks or significant damage, maintaining clear visibility of the dial.

The crown, signed with the Omega logo, is in good condition and in keeping with the overall set.

The case back shows light signs of use, with the engravings well preserved and legible.

The leather strap is used, showing visible signs of wear on the interior, though functional. The Omega-signed buckle is in good condition, with light marks consistent with its use.

Overall, this is a well-preserved vintage piece, with a highly attractive aesthetic coherent with its era, ready to continue being enjoyed.

Conservation recommendations:
It is recommended to use quality fountain pen inks, avoid pigmented inks, clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while, dry before storing, keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and operate the mechanism gently.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Happy bidding!"} }}}} />
