Stunning Solid 18ct Rose Gold Omega Cal 491 Automatic Mens Vintage Watch C1959

1940 - 1960
Description

Outstanding Omega solid 18ct gold gents wristwatch.

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

The fully automatic movement is the calibre 491

It has solid 18ct rose gold case, the linen textured sub seconds dial is in mint condition having just been fully restored.

It has the Omega symbol on the winding crown and a genuine rose gold plated Omega buckle.

The case has been professionally cleaned and serviced and a new glass has been fitted and is in exceptional condition.

As you would expect the watch is fully marked on the dial, movement and case. It comes with a brand new high quality brown leather strap and presentation box.

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. 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.
