A vintage 1958 Omega Automatic watch, featuring a calibre 490 self-winding movement that has been inspected and regulated to ensure accuracy.

What a find! The serial on this handsome Omega dates it to early 1958. The stainless steel case (33.8mm excluding the crown) is in very good condition; it is clean, lightly polished, and quite sleek. There is light age wear to the dial, the original hands are a brilliant silver, and the crystal is clear. The crown has plenty of grip and it winds and sets effortlessly. There is light age wear to the caseback primarily from opening the case over the years, but it's not visible while on the wrist and doesn't affect integrity.

Inside, the calibre 490 movement is clean and has clearly been well cared for over the decades. The automatic assembly quietly winds the watch while you wear it. The Omega has been timegrapher regulated in positions and is keeping time quite accurately, as you'd expect. The watch comes on lightly padded and stitched tan leather bands with a matching silver buckle. The original presentation box and papers are included with the watch and they're in excellent condition.

Truly an uncommon find, this exceptionally well-preserved Omega would make an unforgettable gift! Please feel free to request photos or more information and I'll respond promptly.

Please note that all mechanical watches, including automatics, require occasional winding in order to function properly. The watch will be well packaged and shipped out within one business day and tracking information is always included. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask prior to purchase and I'll reply promptly. Thank you for looking and have a great day!
