Description

This is a remarkable Museum quality unrestored and almost unworn example of the Legendary manual winding Omega 268 from 1959 complete with its original and almost unworn Omega strap with solid gold buckle.

The solid 18ct gold Dennison cased versions of this watch are extremely rare, very few were ever made and to find a museum quality example is unheard of.

The only work we have carried out is to service the movement and give the case a light polish with a soft cloth.

The heavy 18ct gold case is 34.5mm in diameter excluding the original crown, a full size gents. It is perfect with no signs of wear whatsoever

The case edges are sharp and crisp the watch looks like it was kept hidden away in a drawer and never worn.

The movement is the legendary Omega calibre 268, Omegas greatest manual winding movement. It has been freshly serviced and is currently running at plus 5 seconds per day , not bad for a 65 year old watch.

The dial is totally original and perfect it has had no restoration whatsoever.

The original leaf hands are also perfect.

Its the most original and perfect unrestored and complete example you will ever see.

It comes with its original solid 9ct gold Omega buckle in perfect condition with full Birmingham hallmarks.

The original tan box is in near perfect condition.

This is one of the best and most complete example of any Omega we have ever seen, the kind of thing you normally can only find in the Omega Museum.

We will also include a brand new Condor strap of your choice so that the original Omega strap can remain in this condition just let us know your preference.

A superb collectors piece.

You will never see another.

We offer a highly personalised and bespoke service.

FAQs

Wristwatches from the 1950s typically feature clean dials, minimal complications, slender hands, and precious metal cases, reflecting mid-century design elegance.

Timepieces from this period frequently utilised solid gold, stainless steel, or gold-capped cases paired with hand-wound mechanical movements and leather straps.

Authenticity is verified by examining movement serial numbers, case back hallmarks, dial typography, and matching the movement calibre to the production records of the maker.

A classic gold dress watch complements tailored formalwear and smart-casual attire, serving as a subtle focal point for understated sophistication.

Protect the mechanism from moisture, avoid magnetic fields, store in a climate-controlled environment, and schedule periodic servicing by a qualified horologist.
