FOR SALE IS A SUPER COOL 1973 OMEGA MEGAQUARTZ DUAL SIGNED MERCEDES DIAL WITH A FUNKY CASE.
-
CASE: SEXY GOLD PLAQUE CUSHION CASE MEASURING 37.3mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN. ALL THE GOLD IS INTACT WITH NO SIGNS OF WEAR THROUGH.
-
DIAL: THIS DIAL IS REALLY WHAT SELLS THIS WATCH. MOST LIKELY THESE WERE GIVEN TO EXECUTIVES OF MERCEDES. CHECK OUT THAT GORGEOUS VERTICALLY BRUSHED CHAMPAGNE DIAL IN AMAZING CONDITION. I LOVE THE CLASSIC BLACK TIPPED HANDS AND THOSE HANDSOME BATON GOLD MARKERS. ALL VIEWED UNDER THE ORIGINAL SIGNED CRYSTAL.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS DUDE RUNS ON AN IN-HOUSE 8 JEWEL CALIBER 1310 OMEGA QUARTZ WHICH IS KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME AND RUNNING STRONG. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT THIS ONE HAS BEEN HOLDING IT DOWN WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT. I WILL NOTE THAT WHILE THE DATE QUICKSET BUTTON ON THE SIDE OF THE CASE DOES WORK, THE TOP DAY ONE DOES NOT. DAY DOES FLIP APPROPRIATELY IT JUST WON’T QUICKSET.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A SUPPLE BROWN 22mm LEATHER STRAP WHICH ANCHORS THIS BEAUTY DOWN TASTEFULLY. THIS WATCH, BESIDES BEING A TOTAL FUNK BOMB, IS SIGNIFICANT FOR 2 REASONS. FIRSTLY, THIS WAS THE FIRST IN-HOUSE QUARTZ MOVEMENT PRODUCED BY OMEGA, AND THIS IS FROM THE FIRST YEAR OF ITS RUN. SO, FOR ALL YOU QUARTZ NERDS, THIS IS A PRETTY DESIRABLE PIECE OF HISTORY. SECOND, THE MERCEDES SIGNED DIAL MAKES THIS HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE AND GIVES THIS SOME EXTRA BRAGGING RIGHTS. WITH ITS LARGE DIAL, CHUNKY CASE, AND WIDE LUG SPACING, THIS THING IS A TOTAL BEAST ON THE WRIST.
