Circa 1953 OMEGA Men's Automatic Watch Ref. 2658-5 Cal. 344, Good Working Order

This is a vintage automatic Omega watch, produced around 1953, that embodies Omega's history and tradition.

The dial, with its rich patina from aging, features gold indices and a small seconds sub-dial, showcasing the refined design aesthetic of its era. Inside, it houses the legendary "Cal.344" half-rotor movement, a masterpiece of Omega's early automatic winding technology. The subtle, pleasant feel it imparts to the wrist during wear is also one of its charms.

The overhaul history is unknown, but it is ticking robustly.
