1964 Vintage Ladies Omega Solid 9ct
Gold Watch & Bracelet – Fully Serviced (269)
This very nice ladies Omega watch, with integral bracelet, is
in Solid 9ct gold weighing 21g total (with 17g net 9ct gold content), with a lovely
circular 19mm diameter case. It is fully serviced following a complete strip
down, clean, reassembly, and correct lubrication and timing. It has a full set
of matching hallmarks and movement serial number all from 1964.
This watch is in great condition and looks quite beautiful,
and clearly has been looked after over its 50+ years. There is little wear to
speak of on the entire watch, which is made up of an intricate heavy gold weave
bracelet, fixed to the fully hallmarked casing and bracelet ends. A rare find,
this watch retains its original gold capped crown, which also has minimal wear
suggesting the watch has been reserved for less frequent use.
The case and bracelet have been very carefully ultrasonically
cleaned as part of the service, using only water with a few drops of soap
solution to loosen any trapped debris. No abrasive polishing agents have been
used at all, and with light use of a cotton cloth the gold is now in beautiful
gleaming condition. The elegant bracelet is very gently tapered and lies
smoothly against the wrist contours. It is integral to the solid gold bezel/case
and is finished with fully hallmarked clasp fittings, with a very secure
2-stage clasp locking arrangement (much better than the safety chain type). There
is a nice pierced Omega symbol to the clasp, and two adjustment positions
covering approx. 5mm, and will fit a maximum wrist circumference of 170mm. With
perfect clasp gold joint connections I suspect the bracelet length is just as
it was when sold to the original owner. Please note that as with most bracelets
of this woven design there is some variation in flex along the bracelet length,
but this does not affect its presentation on the wrist.
The bright solid gold case back is hallmarked ‘9’, ‘.375’ with
date code letter ‘i’ for 1964, and with the London assay office leopards head stamp.
It also bears the ‘OWC’ Omega Watch Co. makers mark, and case type number 7115500.
There are three further sets of ‘9’, ‘.375’ hallmarks on the clasp links along
with the bracelet makers mark ‘DS & S’, plus a repeat of the year and assay
office stamps within the clasp itself.
The Omega dial is in great original condition with a
beautifully subtle vertical brush effect satin silver tone, and it has a raised
gold Omega symbol with signature in clear black capitals. The beautiful baton hands
are plain black with gold centres, and match the raised black/gold hour markers
perfectly. The contrast against the dial makes it very easy to read the time. Please
note that the witness marks at the outer edge of the dial where it makes
contact with the casing are not visible in the assembled watch due to the bezel
overhang design.
The existing crystal has had the benefit of a light hand
polish with specialist crystal compound to reduce the appearance of any residual
blemishes, before being expertly re-fitted to the bezel.
The movement is the desirable 17 jewel Omega calibre 620
with serial number 21158120 from 1964 manufacture. The date matches that of the
gold casing and bracelet, so we can be sure this is an original factory match.
It has been subject to a comprehensive strip down, cleaning and servicing,
reassembly, correct lubrication and timing. Needless to say it is running
beautifully and strongly, at mid-point adjustment lever position and keeping
excellent time. It sets and winds perfectly from the beautiful dustproof gold capped
crown which bears the Omega symbol.
As with most vintage watches, it no longer has its original
Omega sale paperwork/booklet or box.
Please note that this vintage watch is not of a water
resistant or waterproof design. The case type, along with the self-seal crown
are of ‘dustproof’ design.
Only the best Moebius oils and grease have been used and
applied correctly during the comprehensive service (types 9010, 9020, 8200, 8300).
A near-perfect example of a beautifully designed ladies solid
gold Omega watch with fully matching hallmarks and serial numbers.

Important:-
Please read the following
notes - do not bid if you are in any way unhappy with them:
1.
For All Items:
Unless otherwise stated, used items
have normal wear and tear commensurate with age, and all age/date detail is
approximate. No guarantees
or warranties given after dispatch. Postage claims and insurance cover are the
responsibility of the buyer, regardless of the seller options offered. No refunds for cosmetic or non-functional defects. Any returns
must be received in the same condition as originally sent by the seller, and
are subject only to there being a significant deviation from the above photos
and description. All
descriptors (such as ‘good’ ‘excellent’ ‘superb’, or similar) are used in
context with the items age and reasonably expected usage/wear over its
lifetime, are subjective in that they are the opinion of the seller, and as
such might not necessarily be shared by the buyer. The images form the primary description and the item is ‘sold as photographed’,
please study the pictures carefully as they take precedence over all written
information. The item description is given in good faith; I am not a
professional expert so cannot be responsible for any omissions, but I am happy
to answer any questions you may have.
2. In Addition, for Watches and Clocks:
Used and
vintage/antique timepieces are limited in their ability and their consistency
to deliver continuous and accurate time regulation due to factors such as:
Inherent design, age, condition/wear, user handling, service history, storage
and environmental conditions, transit handling, user winding habits/frequency, and
are part of the character and appeal of owning these collectable items. This
finite ability should not be unduly overestimated, and certainly should not be
compared to the expectations of that of modern-day timepieces. I consider a
tolerance of +/-3 minutes per day accuracy to be good, and +/-1 min per day to
be excellent (and most of my wrist watches are even better than this).
Following shipment it is expected that any timepiece will need a period of
settling and adjustment to its time regulation, regardless of the sellers item
description at the time of sale. This should be performed by a qualified and
competent person at the buyers expense. In addition, unless specifically
described as “fully” serviced/cleaned, it is to be assumed that all timepieces
will require some level of service/repair from the time of their receipt, and
at the buyers expense. Buyers should make allowances for this potential expense
when bidding. Vintage watches have no guarantee of being waterproof regardless
of their design or wording, and you should assume and care for them as though
they are not. The seller accepts no returns or liability from damage or
problems arising from buyer initiated access to, and intervention with
watch/clock movements, casings and other components. The seller accepts no
liability or claims relating to issues arising from any advice or guidance
given in good faith after the time of sale.
Please do not bid if you are in any way unhappy with the above.
Thanks.
