Here is a beautiful and rare vintage Omega ref. 2514 in 18K solid gold case dating to early 1950s !!

I purchased this watch several years ago.
The oyster color dial had been redone in the past. 
Some of the printing of minute marks towards the top of the dial is missing, however this is hard to notice unless really looking for it.

The gold hands and gold applied hour markers stand out for easy legibility. 

The hands are in nice condition as is the crystal.
This acrylic crystal, as most acrylic crystals on vintage watches may or may not be a replacement. 
As such may not be made by Omega. 
I mention this to satisfy some idiots at the authenticators who rejected another vintage Omega of mine because they did not see the little Omega letter in the center of it's crystal. 
They considered this as customizing!!


This watch measures 33 mm across and is 40.3 mm long.

The lugs are 18 mm wide!!

There are a couple of small scratches on the edge of the case back. 

The movement of this watch is a bumper automatic chronometer cal. 343 with 17 jewels. Adjusted to 5 positions and temperature.

Here is what official Omega website states about this model:

  • 1949

    OMEGA

    CK 2514 Automatic chronometer certified
  • Movements
  • Caliber number 343
  • Created in 1949 17 jewels 
  • Produced in a total quantity of 5'000 pieces only.

So out of 5000 pieces total, how many in 18K gold? 

The movement is running well. 

The 18K stamp appears on the inside of the case cover as well as on the outside edge at 6 o'clock position.

Geneva Key No. 4 indicates the case was made by  Antoine Gerlach (1934-77)

Background. The manufacture Antoine Gerlach might among collectors be best known for making the first (precious metal) cases for Patek Philippe's Calatrava ref. 96 - the original Calatrava. But they also made cases for the "Padellone" Patek Philippe ref. 3448 as well as Omega's semi-Pie-Pan dialed Constellation models of the 1950s/60s. One of Gerlach's most prominent features is a waterproof snap-on case back.

The leather band was made in France and is in great condition.

This watch will get you many compliments, I am sure :)
