Omega Steel Dress Watch 'Breguet'

When you think of Omega, you undoubtedly picture the Speedmaster, Seamaster, or — if you’re a bit more adventurous — the Railmaster. While these pieces played significant roles in forming the watch industry of today, many of Omega’s older, classic offerings provide an exceptional look into their era, speaking to the stories and history from years past.  Take this vintage dress piece, for example. Dating to the 1960s, it features a 33mm stainless steel case with a smooth bezel, a signed crown, and an acrylic crystal. Its patinated silver dial stands out for its applied, diamond-shaped indices, 'Breguet'-style 12 o'clock marker, and 'dauphine' handset. When combined with a simple open minute track, the picture of a highly considered dress watch design emerges.  Powered by a beautiful Omega Calibre 420 manually-wound movement and paired to a navy  strap, this is the type of refined timepiece that you can't wear without smiling. A memento from an excellent era in mechanical watchmaking, it looks as handsome today as the day it left the Omega manufacture in Biel/Bienne.
