BRUTTO Watches
Made in 1984, this Rolex doesn’t need further introduction: it is the epitome of Rolex’s craftsmanship/utilitarianism and probably one of their most famous models, alongside the Submariner.
This example is the reference 16014 in 36mm, which features a white gold bezel, a light and very comfortable jubilee bracelet and more importantly, the caliber 3035, which brought Rolex into the modern world (quickset date, small rate adjustments, more robust and durable parts) and is still considered one of their best movements.
The dial is in champagne, a rarer feature on the steel iterations, which gives the watch a break from the grey monotony of the bracelet and the bezel.
As you can see, the case is basically in perfect conditions, razor sharp and full, meaning it has never been polished, as well as the bracelet.
The movement was not touched since a long time and after going through a full service at BRUTTO, the watch is back to factory settings. Together with the purchase, you get a one year guarantee and a Timegrapher report showing amplitude, rate, and beat error, proof of its mechanical health.
We are very proud to offer this piece here :)
A reference you don't see often: the 14900, predecessor of the 167.005, with its clean "Constellation" dial that omits the "Officially Certified" text.
The lines of the case are razor-sharp, untouched, and perfectly balanced by the original Omega beads of rice bracelet (8270-70) and period correct flat feet crown.
Inside runs the chronometer-rated caliber 551, one of Omega's best automatic movements of the time.
The silver pie-pan dial keeps all its depth and texture, the kind that only these early Constellations have. It's very difficult to find a crosshair dial in these spotless conditions.
A rare and beautifully preserved example of how refined
Omega's work was in the early 1960s.
A timeless design that has attracted thousand of Omega fans in the last years, in a rarer reference.
The Seamaster 300M doesn’t need much introduction.
The steel case, the wave dial, the twisted lugs, the 10 o’clock helium valve, all the details that built Omega’s identity in the 90s are here, plus of course the beautiful patina that characterised the Omega references of these years.
This is the same generation that appeared on the wrist of James Bond, when the partnership with 007 first took off. It recalls the watch used in 1995’s “GoldenEye” and it features a highly-versatile 36mm mid-size diameter.
This ref. 3552.80 is a clean, nice example from that era, and offered as a full set: box, outer box, booklet, warranty, and a fully linked bracelet.
The classic Seamaster bracelet from this era is still one of Omega’s best: light, comfortable, and instantly recognisable, way different than the chunkier versions they made with the Co-Axial references.
Inside is the Omega caliber 1120, based on the ETA 2892-A2, one of the most reliable and precise movements of its time. It has been freshly serviced and it’s running amazingly. The watch comes with a timegrapher report showing amplitude, rate, and beat error, proof of its mechanical health, plus a one-year warranty on the movement.
This watch works everywhere: in the water, at a desk, or under a cuff, which is exactly why Bond wore it, and why the design still holds up today.
