Condition Report

The watch is in Grade B condition, with visible signs of use according to its age.

The stainless steel case shows normal vintage wear, with light marks and traces visible on the case and case back. The acrylic glass is present and suitable for the period style of the watch. The silver dial shows beautiful natural ageing, with warm patina, spotting and marks developed over time, especially around the outer dial area. These details give the watch a very attractive vintage appearance and should be appreciated as part of its historical charm.

The dial features applied hour markers, Arabic numeral at 12 o’clock and a small seconds sub-dial at 6 o’clock with concentric finishing, adding depth and refinement. The crown has a gold-tone appearance, creating a subtle contrast with the stainless steel case.

The watch is fitted with a generic black leather strap, suitable for a wrist of approximately 20 cm.

Water resistance has not been tested, therefore contact with water is not recommended.

Story & Heritage

Omega is one of the most respected names in Swiss watchmaking, known for its precision, elegance and long horological tradition. Before becoming famous for professional sports watches and space exploration, Omega built its reputation on beautifully made mechanical wristwatches designed for daily elegance and reliability.

Small seconds watches represent one of the most traditional layouts in classic watchmaking. Before central seconds became common, the small seconds display was a mark of mechanical purity and balanced design. Positioned at 6 o’clock, it gives the dial a calm, symmetrical and timeless appearance.

This Omega Small Second carries the spirit of that era. It is not a modern object trying to look vintage — it is a genuine watch that has aged naturally, with a dial that tells its own story through its patina and character. The warm tones, slim case profile and elegant small seconds layout make it a beautiful choice for collectors who appreciate authenticity over perfection.

A refined vintage Omega with soul, history and classic Swiss mechanical charm.
