Gents Oversized Omega Wrist Watch, 1956

A gents 1950s oversized Omega wrist watch.

The watch has a hand-winding movement, calibre 284, which is ticking away steadily and the time keeping is good to within around one minute or so over 24 hours. The movement is signed Omega, Swiss and it has the serial number 15,377,199 which dates it back to around 1956.

The watch measures 36mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. This is a very good size for a watch from the 1950s, when they tended to be on the smaller side. The case is gold plated and the condition is good with just the odd mark. The snap-on case back has the Omega triangular stamp inside. The winding crown has the Omega logo.

The lens is in good condition.

The dial has the applied Omega logo and a mixture of applied numbers and faceted markers. Dauphine shaped hands and a centre seconds hand. There is some age related patination and marking to the dial but overall it has lots of charming vintage appeal.

A later brown leather strap has been fitted; the buckle has the Omega logo.
