Omega Vintage Black Gilt Dial – Manual Wind – Stainless Steel – c.1945
A really stunning example of an early Omega from approximately the 1940s, featuring a beautiful black gilt dial that has retained its originality while naturally ageing and discolouring in places. The result is a watch full of character, charm and authenticity that we have deliberately left untouched.
Housed in a small stainless steel case measuring approximately 30.5mm, this watch wears with understated vintage elegance. Despite its modest size, it has strong presence thanks to the striking gilt dial and period‑correct details.

Our View
Although modest in size, this is a genuinely special early Omega packed with character. The black gilt dial, subsidiary seconds layout and Bonklip bracelet give it unmistakable 1940s military‑era charm. It wears small by modern standards, but its originality and presence more than make up for it. A beautiful little watch that tells its story honestly and confidently.
