A very handsome, interesting and unusual Omega eighteen carat pink gold dress watch, with great looking lugs that hug the case. It is a three piece case. There is an outer ring that lifts out first, leaving the center, classic snap case back. It has the word 'patent' in the back. As this case design is not common with later Omega watches, it would be fair to assume that this became too expensive, intricate to pursue and a screw back case was preferred. These were believed to be an early attempt to water proof the cases. This is an early example of the Omega automatic, and is a precursor to 'Centenary' Chronometer watches that were launched in 1948. This example has the Omega 17 jewel Calibre 30.10RA bumper wind automatic movement fitted. One of the earliest Omega automatic movements. The serial number of 10.2 million puts it circa 1945. It has the original 'thimble' style crown that matches the pink gold case perfectly, with commensurate wear to match the case. The gold dial is original to the watch, and original to the best research and inspection. It has the correct logo with pointed top 'A', and flat bottom 'A'. The concentric circles in the sub-dial are clean and strong, and the edge is sharp. The minute track is clean and strong with a break between the markers at 12 o'clock, which has been seen in other early dials. There is a little damage to the dial at the 7.15-7.30 range, and a few colour blemishes, but overall the dial is excellent. This truly is an excellent looking early Omega automatic. The case measure 35mm x 42mm, an example of the larger size case.
