Omikron NOS manual wind watch

NOS stands for "New Old Stock". These watches are supposed to be unsold units that were stashed away and are being sold as if brand new but at more affordable prices. My friends and I actually got 4 of these NOS Omikron watch model with one for each of us who are into this collecting of watches.

Nice clean dial on this watch. The finish is like mother of pearl. The watch has simple raised hour markers with no day or date complications.

Case back showing a very clean slate. This is preferred for etching for anniversaries or dedications (e.g., retirement).
This is a Peseux Cal. 7050 movement that runs at 21,600 beats per hour. At full wind, the watch can run for 44 hours.
Wrist shot while at a bookstore. The watch has 20mm lugs so it wears like a big watch.
The wife fancied the watch one time I wore it and she now has this as part of her own rotation. Talk about sharing your passions!
