Catalogue note
Representing the height of post-war glamour, this exquisite ladies' time-only bracelet watch showcases Omega’s mid-century mastery of blending haute joaillerie with precision horology. In the 1950s and 1960s, luxury watchmaking shifted toward sculptural, integrated designs where the timepiece functioned primarily as a substantial piece of jewelry. This particular reference is defined by its remarkable, seamless construction; the substantial 18k yellow gold woven chevron bracelet acts as an organic extension of the circular, recessed dial housing an ultra-compact mechanical caliber. Such pieces were rarely serialized in standard marketing catalogs of the era, making surviving examples with un-stretched, full-length bracelets particularly coveted by collectors of vintage evening-wear jewelry.
