Sub Second Dial Appraisal

Vintage Omega Men's Wristwatch with Sub-Second Dial

This is a vintage Omega mechanical wristwatch, likely dating from the mid-1940s to early 1950s. The watch features a classic round case made of what appear to be polished stainless steel or base metal, showing minor surface scratches and age-appropriate wear. The dial is a silvered or off-white color and displays a characteristic 'patina' with several small dark oxidation spots and light surface discoloration. It features printed Arabic numerals at the even-numbered positions (2, 4, 8, 10, 12) and small dot hour markers for the odd hours. A prominent sub-second subsidiary dial is located at the 6 o'clock position, a hallmark of mid-century watch design. The thin, syringe-style hands appear to be gold-toned or brass, matching the Omega logo printed below the 12 o'clock marker. The acrylic crystal shows some light scuffing but remains clear. The watch is fitted with a knurled gold-toned crown that shows some plating wear. It is attached to a dark brown leather strap with visible grain. Measuring approximately 33-35mm in diameter excluding the crown, this timepiece represents the mid-century aesthetic of Swiss watchmaking excellence. The overall condition is good for its age, retaining original parts without signs of heavy over-polishing or redialing, which is desirable for collectors.
