FiRST OFF, YeSSS, that is a totaLLy ORiGiNAL DiAL, unRetouched, unRefinished, un AnyThinged! Totally ORiGiNAL! That said...

Simply a high echelon vintage timepiece. An extremely RaRE OMEGA SOLiD GOLD WW2 RAF (Royal Air Force) OFFiCER’s Watch.

I will suggest you price one of these elsewhere on the net, or in a store, if you can find one. Even a normal solid gold Omega, without the WW2 factor, and the MiNT condition factor, would be in the $2000 to $3000 range. Enough said.

This WW2 OMEGA MiLiTARY Watch is the GOLD Version of OMEGAs Issued to (and purchased privately as well in SteeL by) the RAF and other BriT Personnel during WW2 (samples of the non-Gold versions are in Wesolowski’s ‘Military Timepieces 1880-1990'). This Omega Military watch was clearly made for the UppeR Echelon, a Private Purchase MiLiTARY TimePiece for Officers, BUT imbued with FuLL MiLiTARY Specs such as solid lugs (right, only found on military watches). Despite the military necessities such as the solid lugs and a full-on ORiGiNAL unrefinished MiLiTARY dial, this OMEGA has a Completely SOLiD 9ct GOLD Case (check the inside caseback pic below). As RaRE as the SteeL OMEGA MiLiTARY Issues are these days, this Solid GOLD Officer’s OMEGA MiLiTARY Watch is RaReR still in Numbers produced.

Despite the LuXuRiaNT GOLD CASE, EVERYthing is PuRE MiLiTARY...’PURiTY of ESSeNCE’ to quote RAF OFFiCER, Group Captain (G/C) Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers) from ‘Dr. StrangeLove.’ The Strap Bars are SOLiD (Yes, Solid Gold!). The Movement is the same Omega Manual 26.5 T2 Caliber in various Omega SteeL MiLiTARY-issue Models. The ORiGiNAL UNrefinished SuPerB OMEGA DiAL is FuLL-ON MiLiTARY with GLOW Numbers (of course they no longer Glow) and Original MiLiTARY GLOW Hands (again, no longer Glowin’). It has the MiLiTARY SubSeconds standard on ALL WW2 BriT (and other country) MiLiTARY Watches. The Omega movement Serial Number is in the 10 million, which dates to 1944, but likely this was made in 1945 with a serial number in the later 10 millions.

The condition of this OMEGA Military watch is ReMaRKABLE. Especially noteworthy is the Original DiaL which is as clean as an Omega coming out of the 70s or newer. The Movement shows Virtually NO Wear from Use or Servicings, and the SOLiD GOLD 31mm Case (not including Solid Gold Crown, which adds another few millimeters) is in Just Gorgeous Shape, I’d conservatively rate this vintage Omega military it a B+++/A-. I have two pix of the Back, one reflecting printed type to show how perfect the surface is. This piece has been fully serviced by our certified watchmakers, and is ready to go...on your wrist. Comes with a Brit WW2 Era Leather Strap, the exact Style that would have been supplied with this piece, though you’ll get a new one.
