Omega
Ladies' wristwatch, textured case, cream dial
1960s Omega Ladies' Cocktail watch perfectly captures the glamorous mid-century aesthetic with its brilliant, diamond-like presence. The defining feature of this elegant evening timepiece is its striking faceted cut-glass crystal, which acts as a prism to beautifully refract light around the delicate silver sunburst dial. Accented by minimalist baton hands and brilliant geometric hour markers, the watch is driven by a precise 17-jewel manual-wind mechanical movement, serving as both a sophisticated piece of fine jewelry and a testament to classic Swiss horology.

Catalogue note
This exquisite ladies' cocktail wristwatch is a quintessential example of Omega’s mid-century mastery in bridging the worlds of haute horology and fine jewelry. Popularized throughout the 1960s, this reference showcases the iconic "Saphette" style faceted crystal, a technique where the glass bezel is intricately cut like a gemstone to catch and play with light from every angle. Designed primarily for evening wear, its diminutive proportions and minimalist dial layout prioritize clean elegance, while the manual-wind movement inside underscores the era's dedication to uncompromising mechanical craftsmanship. Prized by collectors for its sculptural brilliance and vintage charm, this timekeeping jewel remains an enduring symbol of mid-century sophistication.
