Condition

This is a beautiful vintage Omega that features an automatic 565 movement which has been subject to a recent full service and is now keeping great time within 10 seconds per day which is brilliant for a watch of this age. This piece is presented with its box and some original paperwork. Unfortunately the hinges in the box have snapped off which isn’t surprising with a watch of this age. 

Dial - This piece features a beautiful patterned dial which is in excellent condition. 

Case - The gold plated case is in good condition for the watch’s age and only shows signs of light wear. This doesn’t impact the overall look of this watch on your wrist. These are only things really noticeable at close inspection.

Crown - This piece has an Omega signed crown which changed the date perfectly. To change the time the crown is pulled out to its first position and rotated. To change the date, the crown is pulled out to the second position and the date will flick over.

Movement - As mentioned before, the automatic movement has just been fully serviced and is keeping great time. Cosmetically, the movement is nearly flawless.

Case back - The case back is in excellent condition for its age. It is showing a few scratches from tools being used on the case back over the years.

Strap - The watch has been put on a luxury aftermarket strap. Despite not being the original strap for this model, it compliments the gold case beautifully. 

Crystal - The crystal does have a few extremely light scratches which come with age. These are barely noticeable even at close inspection and don’t impact the overall look of this piece.
