In the late 1960s OMEGA began experimenting with oversized cushion-shaped cases across the model lineup. These cases were manufactured by EPSA and many of them featured a sunburst brushed finish that is visually appealing. The present example shows the beauty of this treatment in original, unpolished condition. The case and bezel both exhibit sunburst brushing complemented by a silver “sparkle” dial and enhanced with its tight, original bracelet.
