Vintage Omega Tank – 14K Gold Filled – Rare Black Dial – Circa 1947 A Timeless Art Deco Masterpiece Step back into the golden era of Omega with this stunning rectangular "Tank" style timepiece. Dating back to approximately 1947, this watch is a perfect marriage of mid-century sophistication and enduring Swiss engineering. Its bold 14K gold-filled case and striking black dial make it a true statement piece for the discerning gentleman or collector. The case back is correctly signed and marked. Collector’s Perspective & Condition: In the world of vintage watches, certain signs of age tell a story. We have deliberately chosen to keep the original crystal rather than replacing it with a modern part. While there are some aged-related spots, they do not hinder legibility or the overall aesthetic pleasure of the watch. On the contrary, they offer a "lived-in" character that only a true 1940s timepiece can provide. The professionally restored dial ensures a clean, high-contrast look that makes this watch highly wearable for formal occasions or daily enjoyment. Why Bid on This Piece? • Authentic 1940s Heritage: A rare survivor from Omega's post-war era. • Ready to Wear: Despite its age, it is a reliable and visually stunning accessory. • Honest Presentation: A perfect balance between professional restoration (dial) and historical preservation (original crystal). Don't miss the chance to add this "Legacy of the Hours" selection to your collection. Happy bidding!
