Condition

This is a beautiful vintage Omega that features an automatic 565 movement which has been subject to a recent service. The watch is keeping great time within 10 seconds per day which is brilliant for a watch of this age.

Dial - The dial on this piece is nearly flawless showing a few tiny visible marks which are very difficult to see even at close inspection. It’s sunburst effect dances beautifully in the sun.

Crown - This piece has a replacement service crown which changes the date perfectly. To change the time, the crown is pulled out to its first position and rotated. To change the date, the crown is pulled out to the second position and the date will flick over. The crown has a couple of corrosion spots however, nothing serious at all.
