Mint Condition All Original Solid 9ct Gold Omega Classic 266 from 1956

1940 - 1960
Description

This is a remarkable collectors quality unrestored example of the legendary manual winding Omega 266 from 1956

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

The solid 9ct gold case is 34mm in diameter excluding the original crown, a full size gents.

The case edges are sharp and crisp the watch looks like it was kept hidden away in a drawer and rarely worn.

The movement is the legendary Omega calibre 266, Omegas greatest manual winding movement. It has been freshly serviced and is currently running at plus 5 seconds per day , not bad for a 70 year old watch.

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

The hands are matching gold

The hallmarks and movement serial number indicate that this watch was made in 1956.

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

This is one of the best examples we have ever seen, the kind of thing you normally can only find in the Omega Museum.

A superb collectors piece to be handed down through the generations.

We offer a highly personalised and bespoke service.
