Gents Omega Automatic Wrist Watch, C1959

Gents Omega automatic wrist watch, c1959.

The watch has a calibre 470 automatic movement which is working nicely. The movement is signed with the Omega name and the serial number 16,801,782 dates it back to around 1959. The OXG code is the import mark for Omega.

The watch measures 33mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is 10ct gold filled. There is a little rubbing and a little light marking but overall the condition is good. The winding crown has the Omega logo. The inside of the stainless steel case back has the Omega triangular logo and the case reference C6296 which is correct for the calibre 470 movement. The case back has three or four “dings” and a scratch.

The lens is in good condition.

The signed linen textured dial is in its original finish with original hands, centre seconds and outer minute markers.

A new leather strap has been fitted.

The watch will be sent in a new presentation box.
