Replica vintage omega women's watch
This is a working costume watch.
The watch shown in the image is a well-known vintage counterfeit (fake) Omega watch from the 1960s or 1970s.
This specific configuration—featuring a square-oval case, a integrated mesh bracelet, and a outer caseback explicitly stamped with a triangular "Omega Watch Co" logo alongside 18K/0.750 markings—is a heavily documented counterfeit design.
Key Characteristics & Details
• Design: It features a cushion-shaped (or tonneau-shaped) case, a matching gold-tone or champagne dial with clean minimalist baton hour markers, and an integrated, fluid mesh bracelet.
• Materials: These vintage models were typically crafted in solid 9ct yellow gold (often stamped with a 375 hallmark on the ladder clasp or inside the case back) or occasionally 18ct gold (750).
• Movement: Inside is a manual-winding mechanical movement (usually a reliable 17-jewel caliber like the Omega Calibre 620) requiring daily winding.
Value and Authenticity
While retail platforms list fully serviced versions of this watch between £1,000 and £2,750, its current open-market auction valuation (untested or without original box/papers) generally ranges between £250 and £600, highly dependent on the total weight of the solid gold.
Note: Vintage luxury watches can be accurately authenticated only by examining the serial and reference numbers stamped inside the snap-off case back.
Why this watch is counterfeit:
• The Caseback Markings: Authentic vintage Omega watches never stamp their official company logos, hallmark purities, and "Swiss Made" declarations directly on the outside of the rear case. Genuine models house these detailed production hallmarks and reference numbers securely hidden inside the inner caseback.
• Mismatched Gold Quality: The back shows heavy hallmarks claiming the watch is solid 18k gold (0.750). However, the physical base metal on these specific replicas is actually a cheap gold-plated brass or base alloy, which frequently shows wear, silvering, or discoloration around high-friction edges.
• Dial Variations: These specific replicas were mass-produced in vintage factories and paired with various inaccurate front dials, often bearing misspelt text or combining mismatched collection lines (such as pairing a "Constellation" style case layout with an "Antimagnetic Seamaster" text stamp)
