OMEGA DYNAMIC Vintage Mens Cal. 565 Watch with Racing Dial - Stainless
Steel
Gorgeous
Restored Condition - Interesting & Distinctive - 1 Year Warranty

"The Omega Dynamic is the first watch designed especially for
the human wrist (male or female)"
Created in 1967 by Omega's sales
director Robert Forster, the Dynamic is a wonderful example of
a true retro style. The clean and functional watch, a considerable
success for Omega, possessed a number of designed elements that
made it stand out:
-
An ellipse shape with recessed crown determined to
be the best geometric shape for the wrist, determined after
extensive study
-
Easy to read dial with "time zone" sections. The dial
on this example is done in a racing style design with 1/5
second markings for precision timing for racing, aviation,
or other professional uses.
-
Unicoc case with hermetically sealed crystal water-resistant
to a depth of 30m.
-
Available with a stainless steel bracelet or easily
interchangeable water-resistant Cor-fam straps
According
to an Omega advertisement at the time, "The shape of the Omega
Dynamic was determined by the anatomy of your wrist; its dial
by the workings of your eyes; it strap by the physiology of your
skin."
We are pleased to offer this first
generation Dynamic. The first generation of the watch lasted from
1968 until 1970. We love its racing
style dial with orange minutes/seconds markings!
As one of the early Dynamics, before
Omega switched to using the 1000 series movements for the line,
it is powered by Omega's high-grade caliber 565.
Omega's top-tier caliber 565 movement, one of the last superior
500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce
their costs, was the top-tier offering of the 500 series. It has
24 jewels and a quick-setting date and is arguably the finest
mass-produced automatic movement from era.
It
has fully Omega parts and has just finished a true expertly done
restoration. Its condition presents as about a 9.5 out of 10.
Its
steel case presents as just short
of perfect mint. It shows light signs of polishing and very light
remnants of wear to the ring on the back. Despite what the photos
seem to suggest, all of the printing on the back is intact. On
the wrist it presents as gorgeous mint.
Its
dial has been meticulously refinished - its printing could pass
as Omega factory done to the naked eye. Its original Omega bracelet
shows only fairly light stretch, and its finish presents as mint.
And
its fine Omega handwound has just been overhauled by a Master
Watchmaker. After more than half a century, it continues to run
strong and true, keeping very accurate time.
For the finishing touch, we
have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is
a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a
custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity,
and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
A
more than fifty-year old Dynamic that presents like new on the
wrist!
Please note: An example of this watch
resides in the Omega museum, and a published example can be found
in Marco Richon's work Omega: A Journey Through Time, 2007,
pg. 483.
Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its
lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with
an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of
whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large
number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized
Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly
Hills Service Center.

Our
Selling & Shipping Information:
- 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If
you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome
to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within
30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal
is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience.
We hope you love it!
- The water
resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed
and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't
recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't
recommend showering or diving with it - even one that
was originally designed to be waterproof.
- We have
extensive international shipping experience. In the last
12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value
watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).
- All items are packaged very carefully and mailed in large
reinforced shipping boxes appropriate for high value items
so you don't need to worry about your watch arriving safely.
Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch
is coming in!
(Please do remember though that while we do our very best
and have careful procedures and quality control inspections
- we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of
your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you
- from time to time
some courier workers don't handle packages the way we
think that they would want their own packages to be handled.
Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping
of most is governed by a small spring that is only about
1/8 the thickness of a human hair.
The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem
free. However at times vintage watches
and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier
handling or just having a difficult trip to you.
But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer
a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell
(unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so
if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime
in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at
no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit
back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're
going to wear your new watch!
- Our official
warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the
watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping
of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse,
being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts
etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants
of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have
a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage,
tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just
might be able to help you.
- Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end
of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.
- To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not
to end an auction early.
- Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent
payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.
