·Hi everyone,
Long-time admirer, first-time poster here. I wanted to share a piece from my collection that I own, which honestly feels like a time-capsule miracle.
It’s a gold Omega chronograph featuring an untouched "Gradué Pour 30 Pulsations" medical dial. The leaf hands and dial scales are incredibly crisp, with beautiful engine-turning still visible on the sub-registers.
What makes this one truly special is the ephemera that survived alongside it. The watch has the original black leather strap featuring a stark, flawless gold-foil factory "OMEGA Ω" stamp on the lining, paired with its original signed buckle (marked "PLAQUE G" and "SWISS" on the reverse). Best of all, the original cardboard pentagonal factory hangtag is still attached to the buckle with its original red factory string.
I also have photos of the case back and the movement itself. It houses a clean and copper-finished Calibre 320 column-wheel movement. The serial number is 17,300,322, which lines up with a 1959/1960 production date.
I’ve since put the watch on an OEM blue crocodile leather strap to preserve the original vintage leather, but I keep the original kit safely put away.
Not looking to sell this piece at all—it's firmly in the collection—but I wanted to share it with fellow vintage Omega purists who can appreciate seeing a complete mid-century set survive intact.
Thanks for looking!
