Dial and Hands
The silver sunburst dial is a masterclass in mid-century restraint, radiating beautifully under light. It features applied rose gold-tone Arabic numerals at the primary quarters, specifically at twelve, three, six, and nine o'clock, interspersed with faceted baton indices that offer striking contrast against the silver backdrop. The applied Omega logo sits proudly below the twelve o'clock position, complemented by crisp black serif typography for the brand name. The rose gold-tone dauphine hands are sharp and well-preserved, perfectly matching the indices. A close visual inspection reveals an exceptionally clean surface with only the faintest, most microscopic signs of age-consistent spotting visible under high magnification, presenting flawlessly to the naked eye and maintaining a stunning vintage aesthetic.
Case and Crystal
The 33 mm stainless steel case features a classic profile with elegantly tapered lugs and a smooth polished bezel. The lug chamfers and transitions between the case flanks remain well-defined, showing only honest, light handling marks and superficial surface scratches indicative of careful wear over the decades. It retains a beautifully signed, scalloped Omega crown that operates smoothly. The watch is fitted with a domed acrylic crystal that remains clear and free of significant blemishes, providing an unobstructed view of the dial. The snap-on stainless steel caseback is clean and structurally sound, with the inner caseback correctly stamped with the Omega logo and reference number 14371 1.
Movement

The movement plates are exceptionally clean, showcasing bright rubies and pristine screw heads that reflect careful maintenance. The caliber marking 511 and the serial number 14758348 are clearly engraved on the bridges, accurately dating production to 1955. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece. The timegrapher results indicate an impressive +1 to +3 seconds per day with strong amplitude. Movement was serviced 6/13/2026 and performs strongly.

The watch is presented on a period-correct black leather strap featuring an embossed texture and a classic stainless steel tang buckle. The strap is in excellent condition, supple and ready for immediate wear, perfectly complementing the dressy nature of the timepiece.

History
