Omega
Up for sale is this rare and vintage Swiss Made 18K Yellow Gold Ladies' cocktail or bracelet watch with reference number 8183, made by Omega and dating back to 1966 based on its serial number. The watch case measures approximately 16 by 22mm, and is fully integrated into the 18k solid yellow gold mesh bracelet: hence why they also call this a bracelet watch. While most other Omega bracelet watch models have a round watch face, this one has a stunning elliptical shape. The oval dial is finished in a dark blue sunburst, which contrasts nicely with the white accents of the hands and indices.
Behind the solid gold case back is the beating heart of this watch: a mechanical hand-winding Omega movement with caliber reference 650. It contains 17 jewels and measures just 2.5mm thick. Thanks to the incorporation of this movement, the watch case can be kept as thin as 7.5mm. For such a sleek and refined watch, its total weight still adds up to about 52 grams.
The watch is sold as pre-owned and vintage, however it still is in good condition considering its age. You will find wear marks on the case and bracelet, but no coarse damage. The case has been cleaned thoroughly, but was left unpolished to maintain its original edges and curves. The oval sapphire crystal is original, and features the Omega hallmark in the center. The crown is original and signed with the Omega logo. The movement was freshly serviced, and is working perfectly. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we.
Please do note that the clasp has a small adjustment setting, but the bracelet on this watch is otherwise not drastically resizable. Ideally, the watch fits wrists with a circumference between 16.5 and 17.5cm. It looks like the bracelet was once professionally lengthened by adding an extra step to the "ladder" on one end. We can professionally remove this extension at no extra charge, and therefore shorten the bracelet by about 1.5cm. It will then fit wrists with a circumference of around 15 to 16cm. Please inquire if you would like to have this done. Accompanying the watch is its lovely original Omega presentation box, but sadly no paperwork is present with this piece.
Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance.
