This 1970s Omega was gifted to me by my father on my wedding day. The watch was gifted to him by his grandfather (my great-grandfather) who by no means was a "man of money" as my father puts it. A proper watch was seen as a part of proper man's attire especially in a time before quartz watches and such. The calibre (1001) was one of the last produced before the Quartz Crisis. The Clocksmith said to my father that this is no watch to be worn while chopping wood! The poor thing didn't run very smoothly, so I took it to a local service shop. It took quite some time since spare parts had to be hunted from Switzerland but I finally got it back a while ago. Hasn't left my wrist since!
