Looking to sell or trade an uncommon ref. 14311 pre-constellation solid 18k gold Omega Chronometre.

Would prefer to trade for an early to mid-50s solid gold beefy lug Seamaster or (trade up for) a deluxe Constellation.

Great write ups by Desmond and cicindela on this model/reference.

These don’t come up for sale often and dials are often refinished. The original, two-tone unrefinished dial features crosshairs and applied hour markers.

The solid 18k gold case features unique lugs that appear quite sharp for a 70+ year old watch. Measures just over 35mm not including the crown.

Serial number dates the watch to around 1950.

A cal. 352 chronometer rated automatic movement powers the watch. Service history is not known but manual winding is smooth and the watch is keeping time. I have not checked exact time keeping accuracy.

Omega signed crown, though I’m not sure if it’s original to the watch as the examples shown in the links above have different crowns. An original decagonal Omega crown nonetheless.

Pictured strap included.

	Established:	1848
	Website:	https://www.omegawatches.com/
	Country of Origin:	Switzerland

Founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He travelled throughout Europe selling his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar, troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control. Due to the greater supply of manpower, communications and energy in Bienne, the enterprise moved into a small factory in January 1880, then bought the entire building in December. Two years later the company moved into a converted spinning-factory in the Gurzelen district of Bienne, where headquarters are still situated today. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as, the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success.
