A truly beautiful watch in truly wonderful Condition!

Wonderful 9K Yellow Gold 34mm Case in almost mint condition.

In summary this is a very elegant and rare gentleman’s early 50’s 9K Omega automatic dress watch. It has a rare silver/white and gold dial that has been refinished to the highest standards.

It really is full of charm and 1950’s classic elegance. This watch has been properly cared for and worn very occasionally as it could pass for new on the wrist.

And it gets better. .. It comes with a Vintage Gold Watches London 1 year warranty on anything but abuse and free UK delivery.

 The original solid 9k yellow gold case is in mint condition and looks faultless. The diameter is a full 34mm, not counting the original Omega crown.

The dial and dauphine ’50s period hands are in wonderful condition. The crystal is new.

 The original Omega self winding automatic movement has been thoroughly serviced recently by an Omega specialist. It has therefore been thoroughly checked over and is probably ready for another 60 years of excellent service. The movement self-winds perfectly and by hand and sets exactly as it should. It is keeping accurate time. 

This therefore a truly wonderful and exceptional piece.

An equivalent Omega 9K automatic dress watch would sell new for in excess of £5,000 today.

The asking price is represents excellent value for a watch of this quality and will make an excellent investment.

Our opinion….

This is a classic early 50’s Rotor Automatic Omega 9K and in this condition represents excellent value just at the moment. And with prices climbing as they are this kind of opportunity won’t be available for very long at this price point.

Please note it is difficult to capture the full beauty of this vintage Omega even in a good series of photographs. It is a much richer and satisfying experience to have and hold the watch…. and to wear it with total pride…
