1948 OMEGA Classic Vintage Mens Mid Century Automatic Watch - 14K Gold Filled
Classic Omega - Fine Movement & Styling - Fully Restored

Today\'s sale showcases this classic and handsome 14K gold filled vintage mens dress Omega.

For the movement, the company used one of its first series automatic movements the Caliber 28,10. Innovative in the 1940\'s when it was introduced, this mechanism and its slightly larger sister the Cal 30,10 broke new ground as Omega\'s first automatic movements and served as the basis for the mass-marketed Seamaster and Constellation models that followed.

Here are some of the watch\'s features:

Caliber 28,10 shock-resistant movement with Omega\'s first automatic winding system. It is wound by the oscillation of a large \"hammer\" rotor
Elegant and classic styling
Fully Omega and beautifully restored

We are pleased to offer the watch in beautifully restored condition. It is fully Omega down to the dial, hands and signed winding crown. The case is in very pleasing condition. The dial has just been expertly restored.

As part of the restoration our watchmaker has freshly cleaned and oiled the movement and it is running strong. We have also equipped the watch with a new high quality crocodile band making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
