Condition Report
The watch is in Grade B condition, with signs of use according to age. The solid 14K gold case shows visible vintage wear, fine scratches and small marks, consistent with careful use over time.
The silver dial has a beautiful classic appearance, with applied hour markers and elegant gold-tone hands. The acrylic crystal shows age-related signs visible in the photos. The movement is a Swiss Omega automatic bumper calibre, an important detail for vintage Omega collectors.
The leather strap is generic, while the buckle is original Omega. The watch is offered with its original Omega box and outer box, both showing age-related signs. Water resistance has not been tested and is not guaranteed.
Story & Heritage
Omega’s early automatic watches represent a fascinating chapter in Swiss horology. Before the modern full-rotor automatic system became standard, Omega produced celebrated bumper automatic movements, where the rotor moved back and forth between springs inside the movement. This construction gives these watches a special mechanical charm and a distinctive place in Omega’s history.
This example is especially attractive thanks to its solid 14K gold case, elegant square design and preserved vintage character. The hallmarked case back confirms the precious metal construction, while the visible Omega-signed movement reflects the quality and prestige for which the brand became famous.
The silver dial, gold case and brown leather strap create a timeless dress-watch combination, suitable for collectors who appreciate understated luxury, mechanical heritage and authentic vintage presence.
A charming and collectible Omega Automatic in solid gold, offered with original Omega box and outer box — a refined piece from one of Switzerland’s most respected watchmakers.
The watch will be carefully packed and shipped insured.
