This 1963 Omega sub-seconds watch is a fine example of the brand’s understated dress watches from the early 1960s, a period when Omega was at the height of its technical confidence and aesthetic restraint. Cased in solid 9ct gold, it reflects the British market’s preference for precious metal cases that balanced luxury with everyday wearability. The silvered dial, laid out with 12 / 3 / 9 Arabic numerals, offers excellent legibility and a purposeful symmetry, rooted in Omega’s long tradition of producing precise, highly readable timepieces for both civilian and professional use.
The dial is elevated by applied gold indices and sharply faceted dauphine hands, which catch the light and add depth without excess ornamentation. The small seconds at 6 o’clock reinforces the watch’s classical character, echoing earlier mid-century wristwatches where sub-seconds were still associated with precision and formality. Elegant, balanced, and mechanically honest, this Omega represents a refined moment in post-war horology—when quality materials, clear design, and reliable movements mattered more than branding or complication.
