    Hi all,
    I hereby put up for sale my vintage art déco Omega Euroos from 1934.

    Back in the day Omega didn't use reference numbers for distinguishing different models, but rather names, and this is the case for a small group of watches created at the beginning of 30s. As far as we know, surely there must have been models called Foibos, Euroos, Dedalos and Argos.

    Attached to this announcement, you find the original advertising poster created by the italian designer Mario Gros just in 1932 for the promotion of Omega, Mod. Foibos and Euroos, watches for the winter Olympics.

    But while some of Foibos specimens occasionally pop up, this Euroos is the first one I saw in the metal in the recent past, so I assume it can be defined as quite rare.

    Stainless steel case measures 32mm with the original crown, has fixed bars and is in very good shape for its age. Inside the back you correctly find engraved "acier staybrite" and serial 879XXXX, which dates this case before 1935, when the Omega cases started with 9000000 upward.

    Original sector dial has acquired a distinctive patina over the years and is still fully readable and enjoyable in my humble opinion.

    Blue steel hands are nice designed and all original for this model.

    Watch is run by the glorious Omega hand wind in house caliber 26.5SOB, with serial 799XXXX dating it back to 1934. Previous owner told me it was serviced in 2018, but honestly I have no record of that. All I can say is that movement looks clean, is in good condition and keeps good vintage time.

    Watch comes on an almost new 16mm light brown leather band.

    Please ask me for any doubt about the watch. I will reply as fast as possible: [email protected]

    Watch and me are located in Rome, Italy. I'm asking 550 euros net to me shipped with tracking code everywhere within EU. Overseas transactions are welcome with shipping costs and modality to be decided with buyer.
    Bank wire or paypal FF. Face to face in Rome possible.
