Omega Calatrava Dress Watch, 1950s
Calibre Omega 26.5SOB T2Condition — Movement and dial only shown; dial has light surface marks, hands appear original
Provenance — Bought at auction online, like most of what I keep.
I'm listing this one exactly as it reached me — dial and movement only, no case, so what you're buying is the heart of a 1950s Omega Calatrava rather than a complete watch on a bracelet. The dial itself is a brushed silver finish with applied gold dagger indices, Arabic 12, 3 and 9, and a small recessed seconds sub-dial at six; the gold hands have toned slightly but still catch the light against the dial. Turning it over, I can see the 26.5SOB T2 calibre clearly: fifteen jewels, sunburst-finished bridges, the ADL2TWO positions adjustment stamped plainly, and a legible serial I'm not quoting here. There's light tarnishing at the dial's edge and a few small marks near the indices, wear I'd put down to age and handling rather than damage. I'd point this one at a restorer or a collector who wants a genuine period movement to case up on their own terms.
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
