Omega - 321 Chronograph 18K Solid Gold - No reserve price - Men - 1962
Rare Vintage Omega Chronograph – 18K Rose Gold – Calibre 321 – Circa 1962
A superb and highly collectible vintage Omega chronograph dating from approximately 1962. Crafted in solid 18K rose gold, this elegant timepiece combines beautifully balanced proportions with one of the most celebrated hand-wound chronograph movements in Swiss watchmaking history.
The watch features its original champagne-gold dial, whose warm tones complement the rose-gold case perfectly. Applied baton hour markers, elegant dauphine hands and a finely printed outer tachymeter scale create a refined yet distinctly sporting appearance. The traditional three-register layout comprises continuous seconds at 9 o’clock, a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock and a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock.
At its heart is the legendary Omega calibre 321, a 17-jewel, manually wound chronograph movement equipped with a column-wheel mechanism. Developed in collaboration with Lemania, this calibre is highly regarded by collectors for its refined construction, smooth chronograph operation and important place in Omega’s history. The movement is numbered 19,834,292, dating its production to approximately 1962.
The solid 18K rose-gold case remains in excellent vintage condition, retaining its elegant angular lugs and well-defined profile. It is fitted with an Omega-signed crown, classic rectangular chronograph pushers and a domed acrylic crystal that enhances its authentic period character.
The movement has recently been serviced, runs reliably and keeps good time. The chronograph starts, stops and resets correctly. The original dial is very well preserved, displaying only subtle age-related patina visible in the photographs.
The watch is presented on a brown Omega leather strap with an aftermarket buckle.
