Gold Omega Ref. 920 vintage wristwatch, hallmarked 1954
A 9ct yellow gold manually wound wristwatch with original Omega folding display case/stand

Reference 920 was manufactured with a variety of different dial designs, the present example has an unusual variation of the full applied Arabic numeral dial with the numerals given a more ‘squared’ shape than the more rounded styles usually found on these models. The dial is in good original condition with a handsome lustre and large engine-turned subsidiary seconds dial. The 9ct yellow gold case is extremely classic in design with a polished chamfered bezel, gently down-turned lugs and flat, snap-on, back. The Ref. 920 case was made for Omega by Dennison who also provided Omega with a steel version of the model, known as a Ref. 720.

Accompanying the watch is the original Omega tan leather presentation case which folds out to form a stand. This watch has been fitted with a Christopher Clarke for Black Bough traditional wild boar skin leather strap in dark brown.
