Omega Art Collection — 1980s design meets precise quartz movement
A member of Omega’s Art Collection from the mid-1980s, this Art Collection model pairs an ultra-clean black dial with a signed Camille Graeser medallion on the caseback. The slim stainless steel case and minimalist face reflect the period’s pared-back aesthetic, while the sealed art medallion offers a discreet, museum-like detail. Inside sits a high-grade Omega quartz calibre 1435 with 6 jewels, chosen for slimness and reliable timekeeping. For the contemporary collector, it presents a thoughtful example of late 20th-century design where wearable minimalism meets careful mechanical specification.
