Notes

This Omega Chronograph is a prime example of the longevity of mid-century design. The overall presentation of this watch is in excellent condition. The case sides and lugs retain their original polished finish, with minor wear visible upon close inspection. The chronograph pushers and original Omega stamped crown are in good condition and function as intended. The silvered dial has developed a charming patina over time, giving it a vintage character. The dial features a tachymeter scale along the outer edge, with three sub-dials for the chronograph functions. The blued steel hands remain vibrant and contrast beautifully against the aged dial. There are some minor spots of discoloration visible on the dial, which are typical for watches of this era but do not detract from its overall legibility or appeal. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel mesh bracelet, but does come with its original leather strap and omega stamped buckle. This timepiece does include its original inner and outer box.
