History and Significance Start your vintage journey with confidence. History & Significance Founded in 1848, Omega has long been at the forefront of watchmaking innovation. From the creation of the first in-house Omega Calibre in 1894 to its role as Official Olympic Timekeeper since 1932, Omega consistently set standards in accuracy and reliability. The Speedmaster’s role in NASA’s space program—most famously the Apollo 11 moon landing—cemented its reputation as one of the most important watchmakers of the 20th century. By the early 1970s, Omega’s catalog spanned from sports chronographs to elegant dress watches like this D6672. Gold dress watches of this era reflected a shift toward slim, refined timepieces with clean dials and versatile proportions. Pieces like this represent Omega’s ability to deliver timeless sophistication at an attainable level, making them enduring favorites for both new and seasoned collectors.

Atlas type guide
Wristwatches
Bracelet watches were worn by women from the early nineteenth century — Breguet made one for Caroline Murat, Queen of Naples, in 1810–12 — but the wristwatch only became a man's instrument with military use and aviation in the early twentieth century. Between the World Wars it overtook the pocket watch; the 1920s and 1930s brought rectangular Art Deco cases, water-resistant cases and the first automatic winding systems.
After 1945 the wristwatch became a carrier of identity — dress watches, sports and dive watches, chronographs, calendars — produced by Swiss, American, Japanese, German, Soviet and Chinese industries. The quartz revolution after 1969 and the mechanical renaissance since the 1990s, including the rise of independent watchmakers, complete the story.
What to look for
- The reference number (between the lugs or inside the case back) and serial number, the starting point for dating.
- The calibre: its maker and number are often stamped under the dial or on the bridge.
- Originality of dial, hands and crown — refinished ('redial') dials are common.
- Case material marks: 18K/750, 14K/585, stainless steel, gold-filled, plated.
Dating clues
- Wire-lug cases: before c. 1925.
- Water-resistant screw-down cases: from 1926.
- Quartz movements: from 1969; sapphire crystals widespread after c. 1980.
