Vintage Omega Automatic – Cal. 552 – 24 Jewels – Stainless Steel – c. 1960s
A beautiful and authentic vintage Omega Automatic wristwatch from the 1960s, featuring the renowned Swiss-made Omega calibre 552 automatic movement with 24 jewels. The calibre 552 belongs to one of Omega's most respected families of automatic movements, admired for its robust construction, reliability and excellent engineering. The watch retains all its original components, including the dial, crown, movement and stainless steel case.
The original silver-coloured dial features elegant applied hour markers, gold-tone hands and a distinctive red central seconds hand. It displays a gentle, natural patina developed over more than six decades, giving the watch its unmistakable vintage character. The stainless steel case has been carefully cleaned in an ultrasonic bath, while the movement has been cleaned and is running well.
The watch is fitted with a brand-new, good-quality genuine leather strap with contrasting red stitching.
