First Double Quick Set Mechanism - Beautiful Restored Condition
- 1 Year Warranty
Today's offering showcases
this retro styled example of one of Omega's classic vintage Geneve
double quick-setting watches in beautiful restored condition.
It has a classic retro
Omega with tonneau case, strong black dial, integrated bracelet,
day and date functions and caliber 1022 automatic movement.
Here
are some of its features:
* Pioneering "double quick-set"
day and date features - Omega created the
caliber 1020 and 1022 movements with a double
quick-set capability for convenient setting of the day
and date. Though many connoisseurs associate the idea
of the double quick-set watch with Rolex, which first
offered the President model with this "new" feature in
late 1990, Omega was a pioneer of the technology in
large scale production watches, evidenced by this
example made about a decade before.
* Full size
retro case - Its
diameter is 35.5mm,
essentially the same size as
a
Rolex Datejust
*
Strong black dial -
the original dial has previously had an expertly done restoration.
*
Caliber 1022 movement. Fast beat (28,800 bph) balance system for
greater accuracy and the higher jeweled version caliber - it has 23
jewels instead of 17
* Uncommon Omega ref. 1286.249.1 bracelet - This bracelet
has an interesting design and is very seldom seen.
It has fully Omega parts
down to even its original Omega
waterproofing seal!
It has previously had a
true expertly done restoration and presents
in gorgeous condition - it presents as a 9.4 out of 10. On the
wrist it presents in gorgeous condition.
Its case presents as just short of perfect mint with light remnants of wear to the back.
Its original Omega dial has previously been meticulously custom refinished
- the printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye.
And its long, seldom seen Omega bracelet presents as just short of perfect mint.
Three of our Master Watchmakers pour countless hours for
the last 10 years into restoring the movement of this watch to breathe
new life into it for many years. The final servicing was performed by
our Master Watchmaker who used to be the watchmaker for an authorized
Rolex dealership and was given training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills
Service Center (restoration value $2,395 - our loss is your gain).
It is running strong and
true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Omega in our testing recording
position.
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.
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. As mentioned, one used to be
the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given
special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.
A more than four decade old Omega
that looks presents essentially like new on the wrist!

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.
_______________________________________________________

at the end of the auction with the exact shipping cost.

not covered by eBay's shipping calculator is $68.90 plus insurance.

does not generate a quote.
The insurance fee for certain “high-risk” countries
not in the above list is a flat rate of $50.
