Superb Rare Solid 9ct Gold Omega Calibre 552 Automatic Mens Watch

1940 - 1960
Description

Outstanding Omega solid 9ct gold gents wristwatch.

This is a very fine example of a gents classic wristwatch made by the world renowned premier Swiss maker Omega.

The watch is the calibre 552 24 jewels fully automatic movement, as you can see it is in fabulous condition.

The dial is in superb unmarked condition. It is rare in as much as it has a 'harlequin' or two tone dial which is in unmarked condition. It has gilt dagger hands and baton markers. It also the Omega symbol on the crown. A new glass has been fitted and the case has been professionally polished so it is in superb condition.

It is attached to a solid 9ct gold brick link design bracelet and the whole watch fits a wrist size of up to 8 inches but this can easily be reduced to fit any wrist size by a competent jeweller.

As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case.

Omega are one of the most exclusive watchmakers in the world and this watch certainly has that understated elegance that whispers class.

The watch case measures 34mm in diameter not including the crown.

Overall this watch is in outstanding condition and highly sought after by Omega collectors indeed it looks as if it was rarely worn.

The watch has been fully serviced by Alan Willims FBHI and is guaranteed to be a genuine Omega in all respects. It has been professionally overhauled, the process is highly detailed and meticulous.

It is stripped down to its component parts and each part is examined under a microscope for signs of wear, any worn parts are replaced with genuine manufacturers parts. Each part is then thoroughly cleaned in a three stage ultrasonic cleaning process.

The movement is then fully assembled using manufacturers approved oils and lubricants and is carried out in a clean room environment. The movement is then checked and adjusted for accurate time keeping. The cases are polished and sealed.

Obviously this is not a cheap or quick process which is why our watches are sometimes a little more expensive than others but you can be assured our watches will give you reliable and dependable service and will not require further service for many years.

The watch movement comes with a full 1 year warranty.
