A very rare late-1970s Omega × Tiffany & Co. co-signed Day-Date automatic — a charming and collectible example from the closing chapter of the Omega/Tiffany partnership. With the caseback inscription dated 1979, this is one of the last known Tiffany-signed Omegas to leave retail, making it a standout piece for anyone who appreciates co-branded Swiss history.
Original Omega × Tiffany & Co. co-signed dial
35mm case – perfect vintage size (wears beautifully)
Calibre 1022 Automatic Day-Date – serviced & running well
18k Gold-Plated case with stainless-steel back
Original Omega gold-plated buckle included
Genuine period lizard strap – “Made in West Germany”
Serviced with 12-month mechanical warranty
Omega and Tiffany & Co. co-signed dials were retailed mainly through Tiffany’s U.S. boutiques from the 1950s to mid-1970s. The Cal. 1022 movement dates this to 1978, and the engraving to 1979 — placing this among the final era of Tiffany-signed Omegas. Later examples like this are far rarer than the 60s Constellations typically seen on the market.
Dial: Original, clean, attractive vintage tone with applied indices
Case: Very good vintage condition with honest light wear
Movement: Omega Cal. 1022 – recently serviced
Crystal: Excellent
Strap: Original lizard strap retained for collectability (still very wearable)
Buckle: Original Omega gold-plated buckle
The caseback is engraved:
“CARL L. SCHAFFNER – BEST WISHES FOR A HAPPY RETIREMENT – BMW-MONARCH – 1979”
This may appeal as part of the watch’s story. If preferred, this can be lightly polished out by a specialist.
(We are currently verifying whether Carl L. Schaffner held a notable position with BMW at the time — if confirmed, we will update the provenance.)
