Dial and Hands
The well-preserved dial features a striking, vertically brushed gold-tone finish that interacts beautifully with the light. Applied indices with black inserts provide excellent contrast, complementing the applied Omega logo positioned prominently below the twelve o'clock marker. The dial text is crisply printed, showing no significant flaws, and a date display is neatly integrated at the three o'clock position. Sweeping across the dial, the original stick hands feature matching black inserts. Under magnification, the hands display minor oxidation and patina consistent with their age.
Case and Crystal
The gold-plated case displays honest wear commensurate with regular use over the decades. Moderate wear and visible plating loss can be seen along the lug edges and sharp corners. An integrated smooth bezel frames the dial, showing light scratches and minor plating wear. On the right side, the watch retains its signed Omega crown, which exhibits some plating wear on the knurling. The domed acrylic crystal is clear, presenting only minor surface scratches consistent with the age of the timepiece.

Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece. The recorded timegrapher result is -14-16s/day.
