Q: What is the Omega 19mm Rare Manual Türler Signed 18k Gold Watch? A: It’s a vintage Omega Genève dress watch from around 1969 with a petite 19mm solid 18k yellow‑gold case, a silver‑tone dial co‑signed by the Swiss retailer Türler, and a manual‑winding movement. It comes on a black leather strap with a pin buckle. Reference 511.122, serial 28528460. Elegant and discreet, it’s ideal for slender wrists and refined occasions.
Q: What does a “Türler signed” dial mean and why is it special? A: Türler was a prestigious Swiss watch retailer. A co‑signed dial means Omega printed the retailer’s name on the dial at the time of production, indicating official retail provenance. Such retailer‑signed dials are period‑correct and sought after by collectors for their rarity and historical interest.
Q: What movement does it use, and how should I wind it? A: It houses a Swiss manual‑winding Omega movement typical of late‑1960s dress watches. Wind the crown gently each day—around 20–30 turns—until you feel resistance, then stop. Do not force the crown. Most manual Omegas of this era offer roughly 36–42 hours of power reserve; winding at the same time daily helps maintain consistent accuracy.
Q: What accuracy should I expect, and when should it be serviced? A: Performance varies with age and service history, but a healthy vintage manual Omega should keep good time for daily wear (minor variation is normal). We generally recommend a routine service every 3–5 years, or sooner if you notice issues such as erratic timekeeping or moisture. Keep the watch away from strong magnets and wipe it with a soft microfibre cloth after wear.
Q: How do I set the time on this watch? A: Gently pull the crown out to the time‑setting position, turn the hands to the correct time, then push the crown back in firmly. This piece is typically time‑only (no date), so there’s no date‑setting step.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I wear it in the rain? A: As a vintage watch, water resistance cannot be guaranteed without recent servicing and pressure testing. Treat it as splash‑resistant at best and avoid swimming, showering or submersion. If light moisture protection is desired, have the gaskets checked/replaced by a professional and keep the crown fully pushed in. Keep the leather strap dry to preserve its condition.
Q: What crystal does it use, and how should I care for it? A: Many Omega dress watches from this period feature a domed acrylic (hesalite) crystal. We can confirm the exact crystal on request. Clean with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Fine marks on acrylic can often be reduced with a specialist acrylic polish; avoid abrasive cleaners and solvents.
Q: Is the case solid gold, and how do I care for 18k gold? A: Yes, the case is solid 18k yellow gold as listed. To preserve it, wipe gently with a soft microfibre cloth and avoid abrasive polishes, harsh chemicals, perfumes and lotions. Store separately from other jewellery to prevent scratches. Light surface marks are normal on vintage gold; a specialist can perform careful refinishing if desired.
Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the strap be changed? A: This watch fits a wrist up to approximately 19 cm as listed. The leather strap has multiple adjustment holes and can be swapped for other compatible straps; contact us to confirm the exact lug width and we’ll advise suitable options. We can help size or replace the strap prior to dispatch.

We offer free, fully insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers. We’re happy to provide additional photos and confirm reference/serial details on request.
