1960s Omega Ladies 9ct gold watch, beautiful 9ct bracelet, cal 484 movement.
This is a beautiful, high quality ladies Omega watch from 1969/1970. The watch head itself is petite at 14.5mm x 14mm, but is very pleasing with its champagne tone vertically grained dial. Powering the watch is a shockproof movement, the Omega Cal 484 which has the classic Omega Rose gold tone and associated quality and dependability.
The integrated strap is the aspect that really makes this watch pop. Transitioning seamlessly from the case is the brick link style 9ct gold bracelet. It has a fish scale finish to the central pieces, flanked either side by a polished end link. The clasp is signed Omega with a raised Omega symbol and further fish scale finish.
The way the links interact with one another and the flexibility of the 9ct gold strap further demonstrate the artisanal quality of it. To make such bracelets today would cost a huge sum of money, this is excellent quality craftsmanship for the cost.
The strap is a beautifully crafted by D Shackman & Sons of Waterside, Chesham, Buckinghamshire. It is 9ct solid gold with English hallmarking for 1970. It is original to the watch.
