Description
This vintage Omega Quartz was produced in 1978 and features a beautiful C-shaped case with gold plating that retains its original finish, combining partially brushed surfaces with high-pol polished accents. The golden dial complements the case beautifully, featuring a vertically brushed finish and a date window at the three o’clock position. Inside sits the Omega caliber 1370 quartz movement, which was overhauled in October 2026 and runs and functions excellently. This movement features an unusual push-crown setting mechanism: the hour hand can be adjusted by pulling out the crown, while the minute hand is set by pressing the centre of the crown with a small pusher, such as a toothpick. Once set, the quartz movement keeps time reliably until the battery needs replacing. The watch is paired with a top-grade, handmade chocolate-brown crocodile-embossed leather strap, completing this distinctive and beautifully finished vintage Omega.
