1951 OMEGA Classic 30T2 Based Vintage Mens Watch, Larger 36mm Model - 18K Rose Gold Plated & Stainless Steel
Big & Beautiful - Excellent Restored Condition - 1 Year Warranty
Today's offering showcases this classic full size 30T2 based Omega dress watch in excellent restored condition. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice!
It is big and beautiful. Not only is the case larger than those on many of the "dress" Omegas and Seamasters - this one measures 36mm without the crown, the size of the Rolex Datejust - it also has a very pleasing decorated dial.
Quite unusually, it has a stunning case plated in rose gold, rather than in yellow gold, which is much more common. This is a much more refined Omega from period than most.
Its "tropical" rose gold-plated case with steel back has the look on the wrist of a solid rose gold Omega for a fraction of the cost. The long lugs give it a real elegance.
Powering it is a very capable handwound Omega movement from their robust 30 T2 based series.
The famous 30 T2 movement gained a reputation for reliability and accurate timekeeping serving the critical timing needs of the world's Armed Forces during World War II. As time progressed, Omega added upgrades to the movement such as shock protection and extra jewels - as is the case with the Cal. 283 mechanism found in this watch.
It has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in excellent condition.
The rose gold plating on the case has previously been redone. The area on the underside shows previous aging on the edge of the engine bay, and the underside of the lugs and the case back show signs of previous polishing and slight remnants of wear. On the wrist it presents as mint.
Its elegant and sophisticated silver has been meticulously restored by one of the leading dial experts in North America - the printing could pass as factory done to the naked eye.
We have been trying to bring some of our long-term restoration projects across the finish line. This was our longest project. Four of our Master Watchmakers and one dial specialist have worked for over *nine* years sympathetically restoring the watch to breathe new life into it again for future generations, and it became a much bigger project than originally anticipated (a $1995 value.) Our loss is your gain.
It is now running exceptionally strong and true, keeping time better than most new Omegas in our testing recording position.
For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new crocodile strap and aftermarket rose gold color buckle making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function, a full-page custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.
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.

Omega
It’s a celebrated part of Omega lore that the brand’s Speedmaster Professional Chronograph was the first watch to make a lunar landing. But the universal love for vintage Omega watches isn't confined to astronomers, and there’s more to the company’s heritage than the story of the Moonwatch.
The house’s origins date to 1848, when Swiss watchmaker Louis Brandt first set up shop. His sons Louis-Paul and César took over after his death, and in 1894, the pair developed an intriguing new movement.
Not only was it highly accurate, but every part was replaceable, making it easy for any professional to service. The Brandts called their movement the Omega, and as its popularity spread, they changed their company’s name to that of its flagship product.
In 1917, the British Royal Flying Corps designated Omega as an official supplier, and during World War II it became the principal watch supplier for the British forces and their allies. These commissions further strengthened Omega’s commitment to ensuring its products’ reliability under extreme conditions. In 1948, it launched the versatile Seamaster. Developed as a dive watch, the Seamaster proved its durability at high altitudes and freezing temperatures, as well. (Here is the 1stDibs guide to spotting a fake Omega Seamaster.)
Thanks in part to its rugged reputation and Omega’s links to the British military, it became James Bond’s watch of choice in 1995, appearing in GoldenEye and every succeeding Bond movie; it returned in 2021’s No Time to Die. Nevertheless, the most famous Omega by far is the Speedmaster, introduced in 1957. The first chronograph to display its tachymeter scale on the bezel instead of the dial for easier readability, it was quickly adopted by engineers and scientists.
Worn by Buzz Aldrin during the 1969 Apollo 11 lunar mission, it’s the only watch certified by NASA for extravehicular activity (space walks) — and, as far as we know, the only one approved by the Russian space agency, too.
Watch aficionados and aficionadas alike can find vintage Omega watches today on 1stDibs.

1970 OMEGA DYNAMIC Vintage Mens First Generation Cal. 565 Watch - 18K Gold Plated & Stainless
Gorgeous Original Condition - Interesting & Distinctive - 1 Year Warranty
Created in 1967 by Omega's sales director Robert Forster, the Dynamic is an iconic 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
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."
Today's offering showcases this first generation Dynamic in our gorgeous original condition. The first generation of the watch lasted only from 1968 until 1970.
It has an awesome two-tone sector dial with champagne tones.
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 is all-original and presents in gorgeous condition. Its case presents as just short of mint with one pin prick mark on the edge of the side and remnants of wear to the back.
Its fabulous two-tone Omega sector dial...
