Just wanted to share with this group my first vintage omega purchase

[updog_usa]

This is a 1952 omega I purchased from a shop in Saigon. It measures 35mm w/o crown and 9mm thick. Very happy with the acquisition.

I really like it. Normally I’m not a fan of textured dials.

When did applied logos start? Where did I read it was in 1953??? 👎

Beautiful watch 😀

Earlier than that. I have a 1950 Omega Automatic with an applied logo.

A good question and one that is not easy to answer. Firstly with mainstream lines, Omega introduced the applied logo in about 1953.

Here it was. However he says mainstream lines. I believe there is, like you said, a more rounded applied logo pre-53 (like OP’s)

Nice watch. Beautiful textured dial
Never seen a dial with no numbers on the sub second dial.
The lugs look different too, maybe its the low light ....

Love the 18K case too
