Description

The watch has a 15-jewel hand-winding movement, calibre 265, which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Omega name and it has the serial number 12,749,805 which dates it back to 1950.

The watch measures 36mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition. The inside of the screw-on case back has the Omega logo together with the case reference 2639-4 which is correct for the calibre 265 movement.

A later leather strap has been fitted.

The watch comes in a 1950s Omega wrist watch presentation box.

The box is covered in tan leather, there is light marking, and light scuffing on the corners, but nothing too detrimental.

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.
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.
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.

Mid-century wristwatches from the 1950s are defined by scaled proportions, manual-wind movements, clear analog dials, and functional minimalism. Brands during this era emphasized mechanical precision alongside subtle detailing such as sub-second registers and applied indices.

Timepieces of this period were commonly constructed with stainless steel or gold-plated cases, acrylic crystals, and hand-stitched leather straps. Movement components featured brass plates, jewel bearings, and steel gears designed for manual winding.

Authentic mid-century Omega watches feature correct brand typography, reference numbers stamped inside the case back, and calibre markings on the mechanical movement. The crown and dial should exhibit period-accurate logo details and movement serial numbers that match production date ranges.

Vintage timepieces and their original presentation boxes are frequently displayed on dressing tables, valet trays, or within glass display cloches to add a refined historical accent to bedroom or dressing spaces.

Mechanical watches require periodic servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years to clean and lubricate the movement. Exposure to moisture and strong magnetic fields should be avoided, and the watch should be stored in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
