The three register dial is in superb untouched, unrestored condition. The watch has the original rose gold plated Omega buckle and original Omega presentation box.

The Dial

In superb original unrestored condition, the silver white dial is just too good to restore. the three registers are all working perfecly. The stick hands and batons are all in perfect condition and the lens is clear and unmarked.

The Case

The superb condition, lightly polished 18ct solid rose gold case has obviously been very lightly used and shows no signs of wear.  The case measures 42mm lug to lug and 35mm diameter not including the Omega signed crown – Inside the case-back bears Swiss 18ct hallmarks and Omega signature. – The case carries the reference numbers 101 010 63. There a very slightest crease on the case-back which is often seen and caused by pressure applied too near the centre of the case back instead go the edge when replacing the case-back. This cannot be picked up by the camera and is only mentioned for completeness.

The Movement 

This is the very highly regarded Cal.321 movement which was later fitted to the Omega Speedmaster Preofessional watch which was worn by NASA astronauts and became the first watch to be worn on the moon.

The orignal Omega copper-toned calibre 321 movement looks pristine. It is signed Omega Watch Co Swiss, Seventeen Jewels – with serial number 20520632 which dates its manufacture to 1963. It winds, runs & sets smoothly and is working perfectly and keeping excellent time within 10 seconds per day – The oblong pushers both feel secure and operate positively. The chronograph is started and stopped with the top button and is reset by the bottom button causing the needle hand to flyback.
