Up for sale a rare and all original example of an Pie-Pan dial Omega Genève Calendar from 1959, powered by a crisp 503 caliber automatic movement.

This historical piece is circa 1959, belonging to the rare high-grade production of the first Omega Genève line. It has a beautiful - original and gracefully aged - silver dial with a rare pie-pan dial, like the first and present Constellation lines, and a pristine automatic Omega full rotor movement, the first to offer a date.

The case, all stainless steel and probably lightly polished in the past, features its original angles and bevels, as can be seen on the pictures. It bears only very minor scratches and shocks. The winding crown is the original, signed with Omega logo. Model ref. 2982 6 SC inscribed inside the snap-on case back. The diameter of the case is 35 mm without the crown.

The 100% original silver dial is a rare cross-lines pie-pan model with arrowhead markers. It is in good condition (conservatively rated 8/10) and evenly aged. It shows some spotting and gentle ageing, but IMO nothing that detracts from the beauty of this fine watch. The hands are the original dauphine hands, correct for this model and showing no signs of corrosion after being gently cleaned. The plexi, a replacement, is in excellent condition.

The movement is an in-house 503 Omega calibre (serial no 17190XXX), recently cleaned and (remarkably well) timed. It has been well taken care of through time and shows no discoloration or toolmarks. The watch winds and sets smoothly, its non-quickset date (set by turning the hands back and forward between 10PM and 3AM) functions as it should. The power reserve is within original specs.
