A Gents 1950s Omega Wrist Watch

A gents 1950s Omega wrist watch.

The watch has a hand-winding movement, calibre 283, which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and the serial number 14,806,163 dates it back to around 1955.

The watch itself measures 34.5mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and the inside of the case back has the Omega triangular stamp together with the case reference 2792-5SC which is correct for the calibre 283 movement. There is light marking to the case, and also a patch of scratches to the back where the case back has been opened in the past. The winding crown has the Omega logo.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed dial has some age related darkening but still very easy to read the time. If viewed through a magnifying loupe, there are tiny clear raised dots across the dial. Dauphine hands, centre seconds and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
