Time is indicated by applied black indices and matching black stick hands, which show light surface wear consistent with age while maintaining their original condition.
Case and Crystal
The compact stainless steel case is characterized by its elegant geometry and honest wear. Moderate surface scratches are present on the polished flanks, though there are no major dents or deep dings. The watch is fitted with a signed Omega crown featuring a knurled edge with light wear. Covering the dial is a distinctive faceted acrylic crystal that adds a brilliant geometric framing to the face, showing light surface scratches visible under reflection.
Movement
Inside the case beats the manual wind Omega Caliber 620, a movement noted for its ultra-thin profile. The copper-colored plating presents a clean overall appearance with no obvious corrosion, and the bridges bear clear engravings including OMEGA WATCH Co SWISS, SEVENTEEN 17 JEWELS, and the serial number 26763348. Timegrapher: +20+22s/day. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady.

The bracelet is secured by a signed Omega clasp, with endlinks stamped 6003. There is normal wear to the clasp and mesh links. The bracelet accommodates a maximum wrist size of 15.5cm.
Condition
Good vintage condition. The stainless steel case displays honest wear with moderate surface scratches on the polished flanks, while remaining free of deep dings. The silver-tone sunburst dial exhibits visible spotting and patina distributed across the surface, alongside light wear on the black stick hands.

Remarks
