Omega Classic Rose Gold White Dial (1950) – an exceptional one-off from a boutique liquidation
Some watches tell a story that you won't find a second time on the vintage market. This Omega Classic from 1950 is exactly such a case: it comes from the liquidation of an Omega boutique and appears as if it has barely been worn over all these decades. Freshly serviced in September 2026, this 76-year-old piece presents itself in a condition that is unparalleled for a watch of this age.
A condition that barely reveals its age
The case and bezel are in like-new condition, while the crystal, dial, and case back are even in mint condition—a remarkable result for a watch from 1950. The clear white dial and original acrylic crystal have been preserved in their original state, as have the original Omega folding clasp, the original box, and the original leather strap, all of which are still fitted to the watch. One detail makes this watch particularly exciting: in our assessment, the current warm rose gold tone is likely not its original state—we assume that the case was originally executed in yellow gold and that this characteristic rose gold appearance has developed naturally over the course of 76 years. A unique selling point that makes this watch a true one-off.

Freshly serviced – an automatic movement in very good condition
The watch was completely overhauled by our watchmaker in September 2026: the movement was cleaned, oiled, and regulated, and the entire watch was professionally tested. Inside, the Omega caliber 332 is at work—a remarkably early automatic movement for its time. The measured values after the service confirm its very good condition:
- Power reserve (manufacturer specification): 42 hours
- Rate deviation: -5 seconds/day
- Amplitude: 274°
- Beat error: 0.7 ms
These values show a smoothly and reliably running movement that carries its over 75-year history with technical confidence.
