Gents Omega Wrist Watch, 1963

1940 - 1960
Description

Gents Omega wrist watch, 1963.

17-jewel calibre 286 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 20,133,074 which dates it back to 1963.

Dealers Notes

ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (because of GPSR legislation, we no longer post items less than 100 years old to Europe, including Northern Ireland).

Please contact us regarding international shipping.

All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.

We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.

We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.

This men's Omega wristwatch dates to 1963 during the mid-century modern period. The timepiece has a round stainless steel case measuring 33 mm in diameter, a cream dial with silver Arabic numerals, and original hands including a centre seconds hand and outer minute markers. The lens is clear, and the case shows light marking from use. A new black leather strap with white stitching is attached to the lugs, secured by a metal pin buckle, and a knurled winding crown sits on the right side of the case. The signed dial bears the Omega brand name below the twelve o'clock position. This accessory is suitable for daily wear or display within a gentleman's library collection, pairing well with classic tailoring or business attire while providing portable timekeeping.

FAQs

During the 1960s, Swiss watchmaker Omega produced precise mechanical wrist watches characterised by minimalist dials, clean typography, and durable stainless steel or gold-plated cases designed for daily wear.

Timepieces from this era typically feature stainless steel or precious metal cases, acrylic crystals, leather or metallic straps, and mechanical movements powered by manual winding or automatic rotors.

Authenticity can be confirmed by checking for hallmarked stamps on the inside of the case back, correct logo typography on the dial, serial numbers etched on the movement, and matching calibre markings.

A mid-century dress watch complements modern formal tailoring as well as smart-casual outfits, providing an understated touch of historic Swiss horology.

Keep mechanical timepieces away from strong magnetic fields, moisture, and extreme temperatures, and ensure the movement is serviced by a professional horologist every three to five years.
