Reference 511.0509 was introduced to the international collection in 1976, utilizing a dust-protected press-in caseback and the compact manual-winding caliber 625. This model exemplifies the understated, geometry-driven design language that defined Omega dress pieces throughout the 1970s. / Second Vintage SKU: OME-ODV-0078
