I would like to present you a wonderful OMEGA "COSMIC" Triple date moonphase vintage men's watch. 35 mm 18k solid gold gold case made by the Swiss jeweler Wenger, A. & E. Genève. The case is unpolished, in original mint condition, marked and numbered by Omega. The dial is original! not renovated, not restored, it has a very fine patina, this is a more than 70-year-old watch, but it still looks fantastic. The language of the month and the days on the dial is in German, there are many Portuguese and Spanish dials.
The original hands have not been restored. The cal 381 Omega movement works perfectly, all functions are perfect. The watch was completely revised in 2022 by a professional Hungarian watchmaker. The originality of the watch is also proven by a certificate. This Omega was an iconic model of the early 50s. I will gladly answer all questions. I am attaching a description of the history of the Omega Cosmic Moonphase.
The Cosmic collection was introduced in 1947 and Omega had it in production until 1956. At the time it was one of the most exclusive watches the brand could offer. The Omega Cosmic watches came in two sizes (34-35mm and 37.5mm) in four different case materials. You had steel, gold filled, gold-capped, and solid gold variants (14K and 18K).Some say that the movement inside the Omega Cosmic moonphase watches were in-house calibers.Omega used this movement, they did not develop it. Lémania did. Remember that at the time Omega, Tissot and Lémania had already formed the SSHI (Société Suisse pour l’Industrie Horlogère – Swiss Association for the Watchmaking Industry) the predecessor of the Swatch Group. Lémania delivered the movements that Omega and Tissot used in their watches. Therefore the 381 is not only a unique movement in the Omega Cosmic watches but one with an awesome story to tell.The biggest problem one might come across in connection with the Omega Cosmic moonphase is the dial condition. Still, we can agree on that the dials on many models, regardless of what reference we are looking at, are far from pristine these days. This could be the reason for the watch’s age or the fact that they were not water resistant, so water could make its way into the case initially destroying the movement and/or the dial. A lot of redials are on the market and one has to be well-trained to be able to spot the original ones. It’s not impossible though but takes practice.
I am a watch collector for many years, where vintage watches represent about 80% of my activity. I always honestly describe the condition of the items offered for sale and I am doing my best to be a trusted seller. I have a long track-record to engage in fair transactions. As a result of my track record, I was also supplying genuine vintage watches as props for Hollywood productions shot in Hungary (e.g., Red Sparrow).
