Our Take
Omega is one of those brands that everyone knows and loves, it’s been featured in many films and is even the official timekeeper of the Olympic games. This awesome find dates back 1979 according to the Omega international collection. It’s on the smaller side compared to today’s massive sizing, so I would say its more suited to a smaller wrist, the case comes in at 34mm in diameter and 40mm from lug to lug. The case back is brushed steel and features the calibre number 1342, underneath is the reference number MD 196.0160. The silver dial is immaculate, with stick markers and hands, all under the clean original acrylic crystal which bears the logo in the centre. The crown is press in style and works by holding it in and releasing to adjust the seconds/minutes. The watch is powered by a quartz calibre 1342 movement with 7 jewels and keeps perfect time. The bracelet has been replaced with a black leather bracelet, it will fit a wrist of about 7.5” or 19cm approximately. The watch comes without the original box but will be accompanied by a gift box. Water-resistance is not guaranteed so please do not use it near water.
