WHY WE LOVE IT: Because the Gilbert Albert-Omegas are made by the finest materials in highest quality by hand (manufactured) and thus low quantities. Yes, and being made from the early / mid 1960s the GA-Omegas were probably the inspiration for the Andrew Grima-designed "About Time"-series from 1969 onwards.
Designed by the master, made by artisans -- Omega by Gilbert Albert in 1968. Without signs of use and probably unworn since 1968 coming in its opulent box and with its hang-tag.
Very high quality and exquisite goldsmith-work, designed by Gilbert Albert for Omega. The movement is the high-jewelled (17 jewels) Omega cal650 and the dial was made by Stern Cadran (Patek owner-family) in 18K solid gold -- marked OM Swiss OM (Or Masif).
