1980s Vintage Omax Automatic Watch
Montres Omax SA was founded in 1946 with the aim of becoming one of the leading watch companies in the world. Initilally focused on mechanical and automatic timepieces, this watch dates from the time before the brand decided to turn to quartz movements as it's primary engine.
We found a small stash of these Omax watches from the 1980s. Fun and flashy, we couldn't resist these new old stock creations which are pristine and never worn.
This watch has a date feature in both Arabic and English (turn the crown clockwise to set the day in Arabic; counter clockwise to set it in English) and slick Atari-eque details like the bright blue four quadrant dial. An automatic 25 jewel movement powers this watch which is flashy and fun in a very 1980s way.
Movement: High grade 25 Jewel Swiss A. Shield caliber 2066 Movement is an automatic wind movement. It is signed Omax on the rotor. It has been newly serviced by a master watchmaker. It runs and keeps time in good order.
Dial condition and detail: Excellent dial centers around a four quadrant rounded squares design--this one in mint green with white. This central focus is surrounded by a field of black, all accented with painted baton markers and a minute track in white. Luminous baton hands completes the look which is reminiscent of old school TV sets, football fields and Atari rolled into one.
Case condition and detail: Very good Omax Case. Stamped 351710; Omax Shockproof All Automatic Stainless Steel on the caseback. Features a rounded and cut design which is accented by a gold plated bezel.
Crystal/Glass condition: Mineral glass crystal in excellent condition.
Strap condition and detail: Excellent Omax stainless steel band featues links with a cable-like design. Omax signed deployant buckle.
Size of watch: about 39mm x 41mm not including crown.
Strap width:Integrated bracelet is about 22mm at the widest point
Will fit wrist size: up to 7" in circumference. This can be made smaller by adjusting the position of the bracelet into the buckle.
General comments:A fun vintage watch in pristine condition. Ready to wear.
Please note: Because this is a vintage watch, I can not guarantee it will be water proof or water resistant. Please treat with care.
