Gents 1950s Omega wrist watch
Gents 1950s Omega wrist watch.
The watch has a 17-jewel calibre 266 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 14,148,992 which dates it back to 1954.
The watch measures 36mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is gold capped which means a generous layer of 14k gold has been applied to the front and sides of the case. It was said that the gold capping was so thick that it could hold its shape when not fitted to the case and apparently the salesman used to carry a sample of just the gold capping to demonstrate how strong it was. If you look closely, there is some wear to the capping where the watch has rubbed against a sleeve.
The case back is stainless steel. It has the Omega logo to the inside, together with the case reference 2792-4SC and the outside has been engraved, ‘Xmas 1956’.
The SC in the case reference means that the watch should have centre seconds, not subsidiary seconds. Therefore we are safe to assume that the movement has been replaced at some stage, possibly a more economical option than a repair at the time. The movement and case are both mid 1950s.
The lens is in good condition.
The signed dial has the applied Omega logo, hands original to the dial and outer minute markers. There is some fairly even freckling across the dial.
A new leather strap has been fitted.
The watch comes in a new presentation box.
ALL PRICES INCLUDE UK POSTAGE (excluding Northern Ireland).
Please contact us before placing international orders so that we can advise of shipping prices and to see if customs regulations allow us to post watches to your country.
The international buyer is responsible for paying any import duties and taxes.
All of our watches are checked over before listing, and are also checked for accuracy which is usually within around +/- two to three minutes over 24 hours (unless otherwise stated), which is considered respectable for a vintage watch.
We are a VAT registered company and all purchases are covered by Consumer Regulations.
Credit / debit card purchases can be made over the telephone on 01386 750238 or you can proceed via the \'Buy Securely\' button on each listing page.
We are an on-line only business and do not have facilities for callers. Our offices are open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
With regards to appraisals / valuations, we receive a huge number of information requests each day and unfortunately do not have the manpower to deal with them all individually. Our advice would be to contact a local auctioneer for a full appraisal.
