This is a scarce and early vintage Omega rectangular watch made for the US collection and market. It will fit perfectly on a smaller size wrist due to its size. The rare factory original finish dial is untouched and in good condition; minor bents at 5 and 11 o'clock. The fully serviced 302 manual wind movement works well and keeps time well. Unpolished 14k gold-filled case in excellent condition with personal engraving—original signed crown. The crystal is in excellent condition. The movement serial number is 12760593, dating this watch to 1951. The case model is N6242 and measures 24.2mm across, excluding the crown (25.3mm shoulder width) by 39.6mm lug tip to lug tip. It will come with a brand new 18mm croco-grain genuine leather strap. The wrist size in the photos is 6 inches.
