The clean and functional watch, a considerable success for Omega, possessed a number of designed elements that made it stand out:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e An ellipse shape with recessed crown determined to be the best geometric shape for the wrist, determined after extensive study\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* \u003c\/strong\u003eEasy to read dial with \"time zone\" sections. The dial on this example is done in a racing style design with 1\/5 second markings for precision timing for racing, aviation, or other professional uses. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*\u003c\/strong\u003e Unicoc case with hermetically sealed crystal water-resistant to a depth of 30m.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e* \u003c\/strong\u003eAvailable with a stainless steel bracelet or easily interchangeable water-resistant Cor-fam straps \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to an Omega advertisement at the time, \"The shape of the Omega Dynamic was determined by the anatomy of your wrist; its dial by the workings of your eyes; it strap by the physiology of your skin.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are pleased to offer this first generation Dynamic. The first generation of the watch lasted from 1968 until 1970. We love its racing style dial!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs one of the early Dynamics, before Omega switched to using the 1000 series movements for the line, it is powered by Omega's high-grade caliber 565.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOmega's top-tier caliber 565 movement, one of the last superior 500's series movements used before Omega began trying to reduce their costs, was the top-tier offering of the 500 series. It has 24 jewels and a quick-setting date and is arguably the finest mass-produced automatic movement from era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has all of its original Omega parts down to its original signed crystal and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. Its condition presents as about a 9.8 or better out of 10. It has one of the nicest condition cases of any we've ever offered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts steel case presents as gorgeous mint. Unlike most where the markings on the back have lightened, its original markings are perfectly intact. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIts original Omega dial has been meticulously custom refinished with a matte black and red motif - its printing could pass as Omega factory done to the naked eye. And its fine Omega automatic has just been overhauled by a Master Watchmaker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter more than half a century, it continues to run very strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Omega in our testing recording position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the finishing touch, a complementary aftermarket red leather strap with aftermarket Omega style buckle has been installed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA more than fifty-year old Dynamic that presents like new on the wrist!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note: An example of this watch resides in the Omega museum, and a published example can be found in Marco Richon's work Omega: A Journey Through Time, 2007, pg. 483.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime.
