This Watch

A beautifully preserved mid-century classic, this 1972 ladies' Omega is crafted in solid 9ct yellow gold and captures the elegant simplicity of Omega’s 1970s dress watch designs. Featuring a subtle vertical satin-brushed linen dial with slim stick hour markers and pencil hands, it delivers a refined, understated aesthetic on the wrist.

The slender 23.5mm solid 9ct gold case retains its sharp proportions and clean lines, offering a comfortable, low-profile fit at just 7mm thick. Inside sits the ultra-reliable, manual-wind Omega Calibre 625 movement—a staple 17-jewel caliber renowned for its durability and slim design. Accompanied by an original vintage Omega box and an authentic Omega buckle, this piece represents an exceptional addition for a collector or a timeless luxury gift.

Extra Points 

Founded by Louis Brandt in 1848, Omega started out as La Generale Watch Co., an unassuming, but international business.   It wasn't until 1885, when the company had been taken over by Louis' sons, that the first mass-produced caliber, the Labrador, was released.  By 1903, the company had renamed itself Omega and only two years later were they the official timekeepers at many sporting events across Switzerland.  Omega stepped onto an international stage in 1932 as the official timekeepers at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, the first of over 20 Olympic Games. Omega were one of the 12 companies, now known as the Dirty Dozen, commissioned to produce watches for the British Military during the Second World War.  One of Omega's most iconic watches, the Seamaster, was introduced in 1948 to celebrate their 100th anniversary.  Over 70 years later, it is still one of Omega's best selling watches.  Omega made headlines in 1962 when Wally Schirra wore the Speedmaster as part of NASA's first crewed spaceflight programme, making the Speedmaster the first watch to enter space.  It was only a few years before the Speedmaster became the official chronograph for the American space missions and was worn by Buzz Aldrin as well as the Apollo 13 crew.  Omega are still involved with NASA and have been instrumental in creating vital pieces of equipment for space exploration. 

This watch comes fully serviced by our on-site workshop and with a 12 month, non-waterproof service cover.

Minimalist mid-century elegance at its absolute best. This solid 9ct gold Omega strikes the perfect balance between everyday sophistication and classic dress vintage. The subtle satin texture on the dial catches the light beautifully, while the ultra-slim profile makes it an absolute joy to wear.

Finding these 1970s ladies' pieces complete with their original vintage Omega box and signed buckle is becoming increasingly rare. Whether you're looking for a memorable landmark gift, a versatile daily dress piece, or a refined entry into vintage Omega, this 1972 example ticks every single box.
