Gorgeous Original Condition - 1 Year Warranty - 100% Feedback

Today's auction showcases a prime example of one of Omega's top-tier dress watches. Living up to its name as the "Prestige" model, it features a case that epitomizes class and timelessness, a handsome silver dial, and an officially certified chronometer Omega movement.

When the Emmy-winning drama West Wing was on the air, Martin Sheen wore the 18K gold cased version of this watch in his acclaimed role as President of the United States.

It is in gorgeous original condition. The watch itself is about a 9.7 out of 10 and still retains it original unpolished Omega applied satin on the case back. It silver dial is like new. And its chronometer-certified movement is running very true.

It comes equipped with its original Omega strap which presents at about 75% and an aftermarket butterfly deployment buckle.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to the watch's performance.

Retail replacement price for a new Prestige: $3,600.00 USD
