Our Take
Omega has always been popular with celebs but did you know that U.S. President John F. Kennedy wore an Omega during his presidential inauguration in January 1961, WOW! So he may not have worn this one, but it’s still pretty unique, its rectangular case with cascading bezel is finished off in 20 microns gold filling, it measures 21mm in diameter and 34mm from lug to lug. The steel back screws in and exhibits the ‘De Ville’ logo and is part gold plated, something a little different. The white dial is beautiful and clean, with roman numeral markers and sword-shaped hands, all under a sapphire crystal in excellent condition. The gold cabochon crown functions to set the time. The watch is powered by a quartz calibre 1455 movement with 6 jewels and keeps perfect time. The serial number on the inner case is 195.0054. The original black leather strap and the gold buckle has been retained but is used, it will fit a wrist of about 7.3” or 18cm approximately. The watch comes without the original box and papers, but a gift box will be provided. Water-resistance is not guaranteed so please do not use it near water.
