A Beautiful 1940s Dress Watch in Original Vintage Condition with Attractive Patina and Beautiful Pumpkin Lume

Founded in 1848 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega quickly rose to prominence for its precision and pioneering spirit. The brand became the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games in 1932 and gained fame as the first watch worn on the moon during Apollo 11 in 1969. Known for its innovation, reliability, and timeless design, Omega remains one of the most respected Swiss luxury watchmakers in the world.

What's on Offer

Just look at this stunning 1940s Omega, a piece brimming with character and steeped in history. Its ecru dial has aged naturally over time, developing a unique patina that tells its own story – no two pieces will ever age the same, making this truly one of a kind. The bold Arabic numerals, a hallmark of its era, are complemented by smaller 24-hour markings and a precise minute track on the outer edge.

The original hands, filled with charming pumpkin lume, pair beautifully with the needle-thin seconds hand, all signed off with the iconic Omega logo. Encased in stainless steel and protected by a shatterproof Plexiglas crystal, this watch remains in remarkable shape for over 80 years of age, showing only light signs of honest wear. Finished on a black leather strap with contrasting cream stitching, this Omega is a timeless example of classic Swiss watchmaking heritage.

NB: This watch is offered for sale as seen, as the watches service history is unknown and we are selling it on behalf of a watch collector's family who have asked us to help sell an entire collection. As there are quite a few watches to dispose of, the clients do not wish to spend unnecessary money on servicing each watch before its sold so we have priced the watches to reflect it being sold un-serviced and without a warranty but it can be arranged with our watchmaker at an additional cost if you wish. Once you have made the purchase please add a note when placing it in your basket and we will contact you to discuss this. Once serviced the watch will be given a 12-month warranty.
