COMMENT
洗練された印象を受ける樽型Cラインのケースは、ジェラルド・ジェンタがデザインを手がけ、1970年前後によく見られました。後期型のガラス型風防に比べ、前期型のドーム型風防で、ヴィンテージテイストが堪能できます。 ケースはステンレスに厚く金を被せたゴールドトップ。細かく施されたフルーテッドベゼルはラグジュアリー感が強く、オメガのハイエンドモデルらしい佇まいです。ダイヤルは麻生地のようなテクスチャが爽やかさを感じさせるリネンダイヤル。バーインデックスのセンター位置と、ペンシルハンドはブラックの塗装が施されており、読時性に優れています。搭載ムーブメントは名機クロノメーターCal.751。2段引きでの日付の早送りが行え、曜日は針を回して設定します。
ケースは若干の打痕が見られるものの、良いプロポーションをしています。ラグのエッジ部にある鏡面の面取りが綺麗に残っています。ダイヤルはミントコンディションです。リネンダイヤル特有の細やかな光の反射はフルーテッドベゼルと相まって高級機らしい華やかさです。インデックスと針のブラックのプリント、鏡面仕上げは劣化がなく、当時のままを保っています。弊社にて分解掃除済みで、日差は平置きで+5秒程度です。ご購入後すぐ、ご使用いただけます。ビデオを掲載しています。
着用した際には見えるところ全てが金色かつ様々な光り方を見せる、重厚な雰囲気を持った時計です。現代では考えられないほどコストのかかった造形は、現行の時計の相場感で考えるとあまりにも安く、ヴィンテージならではの魅力となっています。

HIGHLIGHT
C Line Case, Linen Dial
COMMENT
The sophisticated barrel-shaped C-line case, designed by Gerald Genta around 1970, exudes refinement. In contrast to later models with a glass-type crystal, this watch boasts a vintage aesthetic with its domed crystal. The case is crafted from stainless steel with a thick layer of gold, creating a luxurious feel reminiscent of Omega's high-end models. The finely executed fluted bezel adds to its elegance. The linen-textured dial provides a refreshing touch, resembling woven fabric. The bar indices at the center position and pencil hands are coated in black, enhancing readability. It houses the esteemed Chronometer Caliber 751 movement, featuring a two-stage quickset for the date and manual adjustment for the day.
While the case displays minor scratches, it maintains excellent proportions. The mirror-finished beveling on the edges of the lugs is meticulously preserved. The dial is in mint condition, and the subtle reflections on the linen dial, coupled with the fluted bezel, evoke a luxurious and sophisticated ambiance. The black print on the indices and hands, along with the mirror finish, remains free from degradation, preserving its original state. After undergoing disassembly and cleaning by our experts, the watch exhibits a daily deviation of approximately +5 seconds when placed flat. It is ready for immediate use upon purchase. A video showcasing the timepiece is also available.
This watch, adorned in visible gold hues and exhibiting various reflections when worn, exudes a profound and heavy atmosphere. The intricacies of its design, which incurred costs unimaginable in contemporary terms, stand out as a vintage charm that contrasts with the current market value of modern watches.
BRAND
