Why We Love it

–

Recommendations for vintage dress watches are one of the most common inquiries we get at analog/shift HQ. While sports watches are generally understood by collectors and enthusiasts, dress pieces have been off their radar for some time. Now that smaller, more delicate timepieces are becoming popular again, choosing one that offers a good blend of looks, construction, history, and originality can be a daunting task. The good news is that there are lots of options!

The challenge lies (as with any vintage watch) in finding a good one. Years of neglect, damage, and over-restoration can make finding a suitable timepiece a burden. In our minds, there are few minimum requirements for a proper dress piece: svelte design, precious metal case (plated or solid), a solid movement, and of course originality.

Omega is a brand that needs no introduction, and in addition to their impressive portfolio of steel divers and chronographs, also manufactured a menagerie of dress timepieces throughout the 20th century, in their Seamaster line.

This particular piece bears all the details we'd hope to see on a winning dress watch; a 34mm case, silver sunburst dial, a 'pencil' handset, and some added provenance!

This example has a USS logo (United States Steel) on the dial, referencing the caseback engraving which indicates this piece was presented as a gift to celebrate 40 years of the watch owner's tenure with the company.

At Analog:Shift we love watches with cool stories and watches with logos on them are one of our favorite categories. Snatch this one before it's gone!
