Description

Produced in 1952, this vintage Omega is nearing its 75th birthday – but you wouldn’t know it by looking at it. Quite possibly the finest example of an early ’50s Omega we’ve had, it has undergone a complete overhaul, including a service that leaves the Calibre 283 manual movement running at just -3 seconds per day – an exceptional rate for a timepiece of this age.

This piece has been brought up to a wearable modern standard, presented on a new Omega black croc leather strap with a signed Omega buckle, accompanied by our 12-month warranty and next-day insured delivery or viewing in Mayfair, London.

Case Size: 37mm

Case Material: Stainless steel (polished)

Dial: Restored silver dial with luminous hour markers, giving a modern, fresh finish

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Timepieces from this era typically feature clean dial layouts, minimalist index markers, and understated steel or gold cases characteristic of mid-century Swiss horology.

These watches generally incorporate stainless steel or precious metal cases, acrylic crystals, leather straps, and manually wound mechanical movements such as the calibre series.

Authenticity is verified by examining the movement serial numbers, matching case back hallmarks, correct dial typography, and signed components such as the crown and movement bridge.

A classic vintage timepiece pairs well with tailored formal wear or smart-casual attire, offering a subtle nod to mid-century elegance without overpowering modern aesthetics.

Regular servicing by a qualified horologist, avoiding moisture exposure, and gentle manual winding will ensure the mechanical movement and exterior condition remain preserved over time.
