Omega Dress Watch 1950s, manual wind three-hand
Ref. 2272-9 · Calibre Omega 30T2 PCCondition — Lightly polished steel case, original dial with even cream patina and light speckling
Provenance — Bought privately, as most of the collection was.
What draws me into this dial is the speckling across the silvered surface, dense near the centre and thinning toward the edge, with the applied gilt Arabic numerals still catching light against it. The sub-seconds register at six sits slightly recessed, its own printed track intact, and the gilt hands have kept their colour rather than dulling to grey. Cased in Staybrite steel, this 2272-9 shows the wear I would expect from actual use: light marks across the case back where it has sat against a wrist, and a caseback stamp still crisp enough to read clearly. I have not had the movement out, but the manual-wind 30T2 PC beneath is the calibre Omega leaned on heavily through this period. I am selling it on a black leather strap that is not original to the piece. This suits someone who wants a dial with genuine character rather than one refinished to look new.
Buying from a stranger, in short. Every fault I know of is in the listing, and if you find one I missed, the return stands. Take the watch to a watchmaker of your choosing before you pay — I have never once objected. Fourteen days to send it back, for any reason at all.
Privatverkauf. Everything described above — case, dial, hands, lume, rate and service history — is agreed condition for this watch and I stand behind all of it. Beyond that, the watch is sold excluding liability for material defects, as is normal between private individuals for a vintage mechanical object of this age. That exclusion does not cover anything I have misdescribed or failed to disclose, and never covers injury or intent.
Fourteen days to return it for any reason — my own promise, not a statutory withdrawal right. Terms · How I describe condition
