Description
This vintage, rare, and early Omega dates to about 1936 with its 8 million serial # stamped on the original barrel-shaped (just cleaned and overhauled) 15-jewel movement. We have never encountered such an exotic an interesting early Omega! The 20.5x41mm gold-filled case with stainless steel back is elongated and fabulous with a ribbed bezel and pincer-style lugs with stainless steel curved back! Omega and Rolex often had their cases produced in Canada or the USA in the 1930s and 1940s to circumvent import duty charges. This watch looks like it was rarely worn, due to the fact that there are no dings or wear in the ribbed pattern! We see the Rolex standard (as an example) utilizing North American case manufacturers during the same era. This Sutton-made case (for Omega) is absolutely correct and original. We expensively re-plated the case to its original splendour. This dial is completely original and untouched, having raised gold markers and original modern-style hands with sub-seconds register. The dial has evenly mellowed to a warm caramel tone and is truly lovely!
