Lot Essay
According to the Archives of OMEGA SA, the present watch was produced on 21 January 1964 and delivered to Argentina.
The Swiss watch company Omega is considered to be one of the most well-known manufactures in the worldwide watch market. It was established in 1848 with a clear focus on horological innovation – due to this it became later on the leading watch company in precision records and sports event timing. Today Omega is also known for its broad choice of fine vintage timepieces.
Combining vintage charm with a larger diameter still appealing to modern tastes, the present example of an early Omega dress watch from the 1960ies is a tempting watch for the collector.
