A solid 14k carat yellow gold Omega dress presentation watch. This is very much a classic and durable example of Omega dress watches from the mid-20th Century, in a good way. A simple and clean case design frames this classic Omega designed dial. At the foot of the dial, is the original “Swiss” printing. The Omega name is also printed in the same black stamping with the iconic Omega logo applied.
The watch is presented in good, original condition. The case appears to be unpolished, a bonus on these early dress watches. The lugs are sharp and crisp. There is a personalization on the snap back case back. It was presented for 25 years service to XLO. Ex-Cell-O Corporation (commonly known as Ex-Cell-O) was an American manufacturer of machinery and machine tools located in suburban Detroit, Michigan, United States. The company was in operation from 1919 to 2006.
The case is quite typical from a number of Swiss watch makers of being a US contract case. Meaning the movement and dial were sent over from Omega in Switzerland, and then a contracted specific case maker was employed in the US to provide the case, having been designed and approved by Omega. This was very common at this time due to high taxes and duties being levied on imports from Europe, especially on gold. This is also why it is a gold filled case not an 18 carat gold case. These were never made in Europe. In this case, the case maker was Wadsworth. They made cases for most US watch makers
The watch is powered by the highly reliable brass finished caliber 344 Omega bumper automatic movement. The movement was used across the board by Omega in a number of time only watches since its launch in 1952, making this watch the first year the movement was introduced. This example is in excellent condition and keeping very good time.
The watch overall is in good condition, and commensurate with a watch that is now approaching 70 years old. The dial is original and not re-finished, as is often the case with these mid-century dress watches. If you are looking for an affordable classic vintage watch with a cool piece of Motor City history that can be worn every day, then this will tick the box.
