This watch has been overhauled at a specialized watch repair shop in July 2025, and all repairs have been completed, so you can use it with confidence.

I believe it is in remarkably good condition for a watch of this era. There are no prominent scratches on the case or dial. The color of the indices and the hour/minute hands is gold, showing slight deterioration, but it adds to the vintage charm of the piece. The dial is also in very good condition; it was likely originally black but has changed to a brown tropical dial over time. The dial's character changes with the angle of light and is very beautiful. The actual color is best represented in the first two photos. The crystal has slight scratches upon close inspection, but they are hardly noticeable.

The strap is an aftermarket product. There are no accompanying items. I will ship it carefully packaged in a watch case.

Please refrain from requesting discounts, as I have already paid a substantial maintenance fee.

I am confident in the quality of this product, but please examine the photos carefully for condition assessment. If you are overly concerned about minor details, please refrain from purchasing. Returns are not accepted to prevent product switching.

## Collector note
The 1950s OMEGA Caliber 283 is a testament to the high craftsmanship associated with the Swiss watchmaker, notable for its robust movement and the coveted tropical dial that reflects the patina developed over decades. This piece, with its handsome transition from black to brown, exemplifies the charm sought after by vintage watch collectors, especially considering that OMEGA's vintage models have been increasingly favored in Japan due to their authenticity and history. Furthermore, the condition of this watch, bolstered by a recent overhaul, can significantly enhance its collectibility, appealing to enthusiasts who value both functionality and the aesthetic evolution of watch dials. With prices hovering around ¥250,000 to ¥300,000 for similar pieces in good condition, this listing is positioned well within the current market, reflecting both its rarity and desirability among discerning collectors.
