Q: What is the Omega 24mm Manual 18k Gold Watch? A: It’s a vintage, Swiss‑made dress watch from around 1995 featuring a petite 24mm octagonal case in 18k gold, a navy blue dial with gold‑tone Roman numerals, and a black leather strap with a pin buckle. It’s manually wound (no battery) and designed for elegant, understated wear.
Q: Which movement does it use and what is the power reserve? A: It houses a manual‑wind Swiss movement typical of Omega’s dress watches of the era. Expect an approximate power reserve of 36–48 hours. We can confirm the exact calibre and tested reserve for this specific piece on request.
Q: How do I wind and set the time on a manual Omega? A: With the crown in its normal position, wind it slowly clockwise about 20–30 turns until you feel gentle resistance—do not force it past resistance. Pull the crown out one click to set the time, rotate the hands to the desired time, then push the crown back in firmly. This model is time‑only (no date).
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 showering, swimming or submersion. Keep the leather strap dry to preserve its condition.
Q: Will it fit my wrist, and can the strap be changed? A: This watch fits a wrist up to approximately 18cm as listed. The leather strap can be swapped for longer/shorter options or different colours/materials. We can confirm the lug width and help source or fit an alternative strap prior to dispatch.
Q: Is the case solid gold or gold‑plated, and how should I care for it? A: The case is 18k gold. Solid gold is relatively soft, so avoid abrasives and hard knocks. Clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and store separately from other jewellery. Light scratches and slight discolouration on the case are noted and are normal for a well‑kept vintage piece; a professional can perform light polishing if desired.
Q: What crystal does it have? A: Many Omega dress models from this period feature sapphire crystals, though some use mineral glass. We can verify the crystal type on this exact watch on request. Regardless of type, avoid hard impacts and clean with a soft, lint‑free cloth only.
Q: Is 24mm a women’s size, and how does it wear? A: At 24mm it’s a petite, refined dress watch traditionally marketed as a ladies’ size. Today it can be worn by anyone who prefers a small, jewellery‑like presence on the wrist—ideal for slender wrists and formal settings.
Q: What accuracy and service interval should I expect? A: A healthy vintage manual Omega often runs within roughly ±15–30 seconds per day, depending on age and service history. A routine service every 5–7 years is sensible, or sooner if you notice issues (e.g., running fast/slow or moisture). Keep the watch away from strong magnets, solvents, and extreme temperatures.
Q: What’s included, and what are your authenticity, warranty and shipping terms? A: This listing is delivered with no accessories unless otherwise stated.

We offer free, fully insured DHL shipping, a 14‑day return policy, and 0% customs fees for EU buyers—contact us for any specific delivery or warranty questions.
