Presented for auction by Second Vintage This classic 1950s Omega immediately draws the eye with its distinctive, heavy environmental dial aging.

Brand: Omega Reference Number: 2760-10 SC Serial Number: 14807802 Movement: Manual wind, Caliber 283, 17 Jewels Dial: Heavily aged with uniform stippled spotting and applied faceted indices Case Size: 35 mm (excluding the crown) Case Material: Stainless Steel Production Year: c. 1954 Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: -25-31s/day, running strong and steady. Dial and Hands The dial is defined by a heavy, even stippled spotting and patina across its entire surface, presenting a heavily aged character with uniform visual texture. Applied faceted indices mark the hours, while the printed OMEGA text remains clearly legible below the twelve o'clock position. The SWISS MADE designation is printed at six o'clock. The time is indicated by Dauphine style hands, which exhibit minor surface oxidation and spotting visible under magnification, reflecting age-appropriate wear. Case and Crystal The 35 mm stainless steel case features a smooth, integrated style bezel and a classic mid-century profile. The case and bezel display moderate surface scratches and handling marks, representing honest wear consistent with the age of the timepiece. The caseback exterior retains a brushed finish, and the inner caseback is stamped ACIER INOXYDABLE. A domed acrylic crystal protects the dial, showing minor superficial scratches. The watch is fitted with a knurled Omega-signed crown that exhibits light wear. Movement Inside the case resides the Omega Caliber 283 manual wind mechanism, featuring a striking copper-colored finish. The movement presents a remarkably clean appearance with no obvious corrosion or damage. It is engraved with OMEGA, SWISS, 17 JEWELS, and the serial number 14807802. The timegrapher records a rate of -25-31s/day. Performing well within expected vintage tolerances; running strong and steady. Strap The watch is paired with a black leather strap featuring contrast stitching. Secured by a generic unsigned buckle, the strap appears unworn or very lightly used, providing a handsome modern pairing for the stainless steel case. Condition Good vintage condition. The case and bezel show moderate surface scratches and handling marks consistent with honest use over the decades. The dial is heavily aged with uniform stippled spotting, and the hands display minor surface oxidation under magnification. The domed acrylic crystal has minor superficial scratches, while the manual wind movement remains exceptionally clean and well-preserved. Dimensions The case size is 35 mm (excluding the crown). Remarks The distinctive heavy stippled aging on the dial ensures this Omega stands out aesthetically. Paired with a notably clean Caliber 283 movement and a signed crown, it offers a fascinating combination of individualized environmental aging and robust mechanical preservation. History During the 1950s, Omega produced some of the most reliable and aesthetically balanced stainless steel watches on the market. The Caliber 283 belongs to Omega's highly respected 30mm manual wind family, a lineage renowned among collectors for its robust architecture and excellent timekeeping capabilities. Decades of environmental exposure often transform these standard production models into entirely distinct examples, with natural patina creating a visual character that cannot be replicated. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-XXX-0019
