We present an extremely rare watch of great historical significance, released to commemorate the XVI Olympic Games in Melbourne in 1956, intended for the most discerning vintage horology collector.

This is an exclusive commemorative edition, produced in extremely limited quantities. These watches were given as gifts to athletes, executives, and prominent figures of the era. Omega later released a version without the Olympic Merit Cross, as it had not obtained the definitive right to use the original emblem.

The solid 18k gold case is in exceptional condition, with its original polishing preserved, fully retaining the sophisticated spider-lug design. The coffin-style applied hour markers, elegant Dauphine hands, and faceted Omega-signed crown are also in 18k gold, elements that enhance the overall aesthetic refinement.

The lacquered dial is the main visual highlight, featuring the official Olympic Games logo, a detail also present on the caseback, reinforcing its authenticity and historical significance. The watch is equipped with the renowned 471 automatic caliber, recently serviced and in excellent working order and condition.

It comes with its original period box and an original Omega gold-plated buckle on a replacement brown leather strap.

A unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional gold Omega that combines extreme rarity, historical value, and above-average condition—a true centerpiece in any high-end watch collection.
