Omega Oversize Dress Watch 18K Yellow Gold | Reference 14708
An Elegant Mid-Century Statement from 1961
The Omega Oversize Dress Watch, Reference 14708, is a refined expression of early 1960s Swiss watchmaking—where minimalism met discreet luxury. Housed in a solid 18K yellow gold case measuring a generous 35 mm, this piece carries the poise of a formal timepiece yet wears with a contemporary presence thanks to its oversized proportions for the era.
The watch is driven by Omega’s high-grade calibre 285, a manual-wound movement freshly serviced by our in-house watchmaker and supported by a full 12-month mechanical warranty. This movement’s clean architecture and proven reliability make it a cornerstone of Omega’s mid-century portfolio.
A Golden Canvas for Time
The case—crafted entirely in 18K yellow gold—frames the original Omega dial, now aged with a soft, even patina that speaks to its six decades of history. The warm gold hands and centre seconds hand sweep over a clean, uncluttered dial, capped by its original Omega-signed crown and protected by a vintage plexiglass crystal.
Complementing the watch is a brand-new, hand-made black leather strap, crafted in Belgium, which underscores the watch’s understated elegance and period authenticity.
