Omega 1959 Gold Watch Vintage 34mm – Solid 9ct Gold – Cal. 266 – Sub-Seconds – Original Box

For sale is a beautifully preserved Omega 1959 Gold Watch, housed in a solid 9 carat gold case with classic mid-century proportions at 34mm. This is the sort of understated Omega that defined the brand long before modern marketing and oversized cases took over.

Inside is Omega’s respected mechanical hand-winding Calibre 266, a simple, robust movement known for long-term reliability and ease of servicing. The sub-seconds dial at 6 o’clock adds a traditional, slightly more refined aesthetic compared to centre-seconds models of the period.

The watch presents very well on the wrist. The gold case has aged honestly and retains strong definition to the lugs. The dial shows light, natural aging consistent with a 1950s piece and has not been over-restored. This is exactly how collectors like to see these watches — original character intact, not artificially “minted up”.

It is fitted with a new black leather strap and comes with its original Omega black presentation box, which is increasingly rare to find with watches of this era and adds genuine collector appeal.

This is not just a nice vintage Omega — it’s the kind of piece that makes sense to own long-term. Solid gold vintage Omegas from the 1950s remain undervalued relative to modern retail pricing, and they continue to attract collectors who want real heritage without paying modern precious-metal prices. If you buy well and look after it, this is the sort of watch you can enjoy daily and still feel comfortable about as a long-term store of value.

This is proper old-school Omega. Solid gold, manual-wind, sub-seconds — the way dress watches were meant to be. No nonsense, no gimmicks, just honest Swiss watchmaking from the 1950s.

If you’re looking for a wearable vintage investment that still feels special on the wrist, this one is hard to fault at the money.
