The "Omega Automatic" that arrived today is
a vintage model with a very rare full-numeral, raised Arabic dial.
Furthermore, the combination with the sharp square case is extremely rare.
The 1960s were a golden age for vintage watches, including Omega, with many unique designs and
a truly diverse range of styles.
Many watches of that era mostly had bar-type indexes on their dials.
The reason is said to be that the legibility of numbers differed between countries where Arabic numerals were prevalent and those where Roman numerals were prevalent,
so bar indexes were adopted to accommodate both.
Therefore, watches with numeral indexes became rare,
and if all numbers were used, their rarity can be imagined.
Moreover, the elaborate construction of the raised indexes makes a strong impact.
While the variety of dial and watch designs may be less abundant compared to modern times,
the details unique to vintage watches are full of highlights.
The case is a sharp square case,
and accordingly, the dial also adopts a square shape.
The movement, as indicated on the dial, is an automatic winding type,
using Cal. 671, which was adopted for ladies' automatic models at the time.
Many vintage watches pursued thinner movements,
and various movements were manufactured by each maker.
However, this thinness required advanced technical skill,
and it was an era where the thinner the movement, the higher the technical skill and the more luxurious the item.
Omega achieved thinness in their watches and cost reduction by using ladies' movements in men's models.
Such ingenuity can also be felt in vintage models.
The watch case size is 26mm, but the strap width is 19mm, making it feel larger than its actual size.
Square watches offer more presence than round watches,
so you can really feel the watch on your wrist.
This particular piece is a valuable item that catches the eye with its unique design,
and it should convey the appeal of Omega's vintage watches above all else.
Omega has produced many watches with excellent cost performance,
and it is one of the few watch brands where you can feel confident about maintenance.
Omega, still highly regarded worldwide and embodying the essence of watchmaking,
offers a rich selection of items that we highly recommend to those acquiring their first wristwatch.
This automatic watch is sure to pique the interest of many people.
However, due to its high rarity, future restocking will be quite difficult.
A highly recommended item that allows you to experience the charm of vintage watches.
Please consider it at this opportunity!
