Gents 1962 Omega Hand-winding Wrist Watch

A gents gold plated Omega wrist watch.

The watch has a calibre 268 hand-winding movement which is ticking away nicely and the time keeping is good. The movement is signed Omega, Swiss and it has the serial number 19,203,042 which dates it back to 1962.

The watch measures 32.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold plated and the condition is good with just some wear to the plate on the tips of the lugs although it is not immediately obvious to the naked eye. The winding crown has the Omega logo. The stainless steel case back has the Omega triangular stamp inside together with the case reference 14713-62 which is correct for the calibre 268 movement so we can be happy that everything is as it should be.

The lens is in good condition if viewed through a jeweller's loupe, there is a light scratch but it is difficult to see with the naked eye.

The dial has the applied Omega logo and is also signed Omega, Swiss Made. It has faceted number markers, pale gold coloured hands and a subsidiary seconds dial. There is some light marking to the dial but it is very acceptable.

A new black leather strap has been fitted.
