Early, classical 33 mm Omega from 1962 with the elegant simplicity that made the brand’s mid-century dress watches so wearable. This piece keeps things pure: a clean original dial with applied batons, a sub-seconds register, and a slim polished steel case that slides under a cuff effortlessly.
The watch is fully working and supplied with a 12-month movement warranty. A period-correct acrylic crystal, an Omega signed crown, and a dustproof snap-on caseback complete the honest vintage wrist set.

This example is the 121.001-62, paired correctly with the calibre 269 and sized exactly as collectors expect from these references (compact case, long elegant lugs, and a thin profile).
