Description

Fully serviced with a 12 month warranty.

This is an incredibly rare solid 18ct gold Omega mens vintage chronograph.

This is a rare 18ct three register chronograph with the legendary calibre 321 movement, the same movement that was used in the Gemini and Apollo Astronaut watches. The movement is considered to be the finest chronograph movement ever produced and was chosen by NASA over all other makers.

The dial is in mint condition having been full restored.

It has been fully and professionally overhauled and everything works exactly as it did the day it left the factory.

The model reference number is BA 101.010

The Omega symbol is on the crown, it is fully marked Omega on the dial, movement and case as you would expect.

The watch case measures 35mm in diameter not including the crown or pushers.

It comes with both its original inner and outer boxes.

Overall this watch is in outstanding condition, a rare find with its original boxes and highly sought after by Omega collectors. You will probably never see a more original or perfect example of this rare watch.

It has been professionally serviced and overhauled the process is highly detailed and meticulous.

The movement is stripped down to its component parts and each part is examined under high magnification 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.

The Calibre 321 is a legendary column-wheel chronograph movement developed in conjunction with Lemania, famous for powering early Omega Speedmasters and high-end chronographs during the mid-20th century.

Watches from this period typically feature solid 18-carat gold cases, high-grade manual-wind mechanical movements, acrylic crystals, and traditionally stamped hallmarks on the inner case back.

Authenticity is verified by checking the movement serial number against production ledgers, examining the calibre stamp, inspecting case back hallmarks, and ensuring correct dial typography and signature placement.

A classic gold timepiece pairs exceptionally well with tailored menswear or minimalist formal attire, serving as a subtle statement accessory that complements neutral tones and refined tailoring.

Mechanical watches require regular servicing by a qualified horologist every three to five years, protection from moisture and magnetic fields, and careful manual winding to maintain optimal performance.
