Omega Classic Silver Dial "Linen" (1961) – a rare dial with a special texture

Some details make a vintage watch instantly recognizable. With this Omega Ref. 14713 from 1961, it's the silver "Linen" dial – named after its fine, linen-like texture, which gives the dial a special depth and vibrancy. This type of craftsmanship is now considered relatively rare, making this piece a true eye-catcher for collectors looking for something special.

Classic Design with a Rare Detail

The 33mm steel case of this Omega embodies the understated, elegant style of the early 1960s. The case, bezel, and movement are in very good condition, while the dial and case back are well-preserved for their age. Before sale, the case was highly polished, the bezel was buffed to a high shine, and the original acrylic crystal was professionally polished. The well-maintained appearance is complemented by a new leather strap in like-new condition – thus, this watch today presents a harmonious, high-quality overall impression, without losing its authentic vintage character.
