Its round \u003cstrong\u003egold-plated\u003c\/strong\u003e case, with a slim bezel and sleek tapered curved lugs, embodies the luminous classicism of the de ville vintage watches of the 1970s.

An elegant and easy-to-wear piece, in the purest Omega style of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003egilded dial\u003c\/strong\u003e reveals a vertical brushed finish, known as \"linen,\" which catches the light in shifting bands depending on the angle. Applied baton hour markers, hollowed out with a \u003cstrong\u003eblack insert\u003c\/strong\u003e, rhythm the perimeter. The Ω symbol crowns the OMEGA and Automatic signatures, while the SWISS MADE mention sits at the base of the dial. A \u003cstrong\u003edate window\u003c\/strong\u003e is placed at 3 o'clock.

Its 1012 caliber winds itself thanks to a rotor, powered by the movement of the wrist. There is neither battery nor mandatory hand-winding, even though the crown allows it to be re-energized after a stop. Worn regularly, the watch keeps itself running, with approximately 42 hours of power reserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Omega 1012 caliber reliable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The 1012 is a 23-jewel automatic movement, produced from 1972 to 1984, with a modern and robust architecture. It offers a quickset date and a hacking seconds hand for precise time setting. Properly maintained, it delivers accuracy comparable to that of contemporary movements. The movement of this example has been serviced by our watchmaker and is guaranteed for 1 year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I set the date on this Omega?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1012 caliber has a quickset date: by pulling the crown to its intermediate position and turning it, the date advances without having to move the hands. Avoid setting the date between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m., the period during which the calendar mechanism is engaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the case solid gold?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is a gold-plated case with a steel back, a construction commonly found on dress watches of this era. The plating provides the warmth and brilliance of gold at a fraction of its price. This piece shows fine signs of wear on its plating, disclosed with full transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a 34mm case fit which wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 34mm diameter with a Lug-to-lug of 41mm fits wrists approximately from 15.5 to 19cm, its tapered lugs beautifully elongating the silhouette. It is a classic and versatile size, equally at ease on a masculine wrist or a slightly fuller feminine wrist.
