Description & Condition report:
a early 70s omega, indicated by the faceted glass design around the corners of the dome. comes on a vintage bracelet design, which i feel its better suited than strap.
The Calibre 485, a reliable workhorse movement which is tiny yet might. Such cocktail ladies watches were the MVP products during the 70s, where omega was constantly innovating and creating such beautiful iconic pieces. this piece comes with a vintage bracelet, currently running at a length of 16.5cm. the spiral bracelet string design is something only jeweller ateliers from the past produced, and it isnt something which modern manufacturers would have the skill to make.
piece has been regulated to -+ 30 seconds per day on average. There is no dial corrosion or glass scratches. bracelet is a cut-to-size, hence if it wants to go shorter, it has to be permanently cut to size.
