Omega cal. 320 from 1965

Hi OF!
I picked up this wonderful and very preserved Omega. So from what I see it has never been serviced. Excellently preserved dial with no marks. The arrow light is still active and glows green. At least I really like the many identical numbers on the serial number. I also have a period matching buckle.

Great pick up!

That's a beauty. When you refer to the "arrow light" being green, do you mean that the lume in the hands responds differently than the lume on the dial?

I think he does mean the hand-lume. To me that lume looks different enough from the dial and from other examples, I can't help but think the hands have been replaced/relumed at one point.

I’m fairly sure these had steel hands originally, not white. A lovely watch but there’s a good chance the hands are service replacements.

Edit: I’m going to retract that statement as a quick google suggests it may well not be the case.

Lovely watch

May I be rude and ask how much it cost you?

I really love this one, what a beauty. Congrats!!

Very striking design and excellent alignment on the serial number. I would love to know more about these chronographs.

I got a fairly modest price, but that's what they asked me... And it still needs a service

Thanks everyone for the opinions!

I like this model a lot. What also makes it special - it has a step dial.
On your watch, the crown might not be original. I have seen thicker one used. But, not 100% sure.

Although, @flqt-9000 sold his recently and had thin crown:

Also, I have a feeling that this model looks better with metallic hands, not painted, but who knows how it came out of the factory...

Congrats ! That's a very nice and timeless design IMO.
Regarding hands and crown I am no specialist but they look very similar to the 3 black dial examples available on C24 right now from FR, BE and IT, so my guts feeling tells me it looks good.

Anyway, enjoy it ! and share wrist shot when you can

 

[Donko1100]

I am 100% sure that everything is original! As well as the crown, there is a notch in the bezel itself for easy winding. In my opinion, it has never been serviced - judging by the screws on the mechanism.
Pictures of the wrist are coming right away

I have had two, both with withe hands. It cannot be excluded they also came with silver hands though.

Beautifully preserved example and in black, excellent

Took it in after service today and put on a period buckle.
