Dating to the golden era of mid-century Omega design, up for your consideration is this gorgeous 1950s Omega Tresor, a beautifully preserved example of understated elegance and craftsmanship.

 

The watch features a striking original rail-track dial in non-luminous configuration, complemented by applied dagger indices and elegant dauphine hands. The dial has survived in exceptional condition, preserving the crisp and balanced aesthetic that defines these early Omega dress watches.

 

Housed within a substantial and beautifully preserved solid 18-carat rose gold case, reference 2617, measuring a desirable 35mm in diameter, the watch presents with strong engravings and appears to remain in unpolished condition, retaining the honest lines and character collectors seek. The Swiss-signed case has a wonderful warmth to it, giving the watch an unmistakably rich wrist presence.

 

Powering the watch is its original automatic half-rotor bumper calibre movement — one of Omega’s charming early automatic systems, offering that distinctive mechanical sensation on the wrist that reminds you that you’re wearing a true piece of horological history.

 

Adding further desirability, the watch is accompanied by its original Omega coffin box along with its original Omega signed buckle — details seldom retained together after more than seventy years.

 

An exceptionally honest and beautifully preserved Omega, and certainly not one to be missed.
