A highly original men’s 1968 Omega presentation watch, which still has the Omega strap and gold buckle.  Model reference 131/25016.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

From the serial number on the movement we can accurately date this watch to being made in 1967, and the London hall mark on the inside of the case back is also for 1967.  But the most obvious dating evidence is the long service inscription on the case back for 1968.

CONDITION

It is always nice to see a long service watch in such original condition.  The fact the strap is still on the watch would indicate that this watch spent a lot more time in the box than on the wrist.  The dial is clean, and the the hands only show very light tarnishing.  The movement is Omega’s calibre 601, a seventeen jewel manual wind with fine adjustment which is all ticking away nicely.  The case back does have tool marks where someone in the past has tried to open the case and failed – this is a two piece case and the movement is not accessible via the back.  The leather strap is the original and has been worn, but we could fit a new strap for you if you prefer.  The 9k gold Omega buckle would be transferred to the new strap of course.

This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, and our Certificate of Authenticity.

This watch has been checked against the Watch Register and has not been reported as lost, stolen or implicated in fraud, and a copy of that certificate will also be included.
