Britain's Royal Flying Corps chose Omega watches in 1917 as official timekeepers for its pilots and again in 1940, RAF Pilots watches were supplied by Omega. The 1940s also saw the first Tourbillon wristwatch and the first of the famous Seamaster watches, whilst the '50s and '60s introduced the legendary Constellation, Speedmaster, Seamaster 300 and Railmaster. During these years, everyone from Presidents to Kings of Rock and Roll wore Omega watches on official duties. What's more, in 1962, a U.S. astronaut took the first Omega Speedmaster into space on NASA's Mercury Sigma 7 mission and in 1969 two Omega Speedmasters were worn by the first astronauts to walk on the ... Servicing, Repairs and Restoration Vintage Gold Watches London has built some considerable experience in servicing, repair and restoration, through buying hundreds of vintage watches each year and restoring them to the very high standards you see on this website. This involves completely dismantling a watch for cleaning and close examination, replacing parts with genuine originals, rebuilding and then testing and calibration. Almost always, the dial and case will also require professional restoration. We only buy in the best quality watches we can find, however our customers will often provide us with watches in quite poor states of repair and in need of some serious restoration work. This is quite often a watch which has been passed on from father to son, or it may have been grandpa’s watch which has remained in the back of a drawer for many years and become part of his estate. Sentimental reasons aside, it is almost always worthwhile to repair and restore a vintage watch and as long as the watch has not been too badly damaged through corrosion or abuse. In some cases, minor miracles can be achieved in the hands of our experts in bringing good quality vintage watches, back to life! In more detail, repairs and restoration may involve any or all of the following:- The Movement – It is often surprising just how long a high quality Swiss watch movement will last. The answer is, with care and regular servicing, almost indefinitely. This is not only because Swiss watches have always been so very well made, but there is almost always a good supply of parts available for replacement, so it is well worth keeping your watch properly serviced as this will prevent the lubrication from drying out on critical parts of the watch, therefore prolonging the life of the parts and so the watch. The Case – Surface scratches will occur with use and are usually no problem as these can often be removed without any loss of definition to the case. Deep scratches and engravings are far more difficult to repair / restore, but can be repaired by a specialist wristwatch case-maker. If the case is in very good original condition and has never been polished, it is better to clean the case and not polish it, in order to retain the original look and feel of the watch. The Case-Back – Unwanted engravings can be successfully removed, again by a specialist case-maker. The results can be dramatic with no loss of thickness of the gold. However this is highly skilled work and an estimate can only be provided when we have inspected the case-back. Lugs – Where the strap or bracelet fixes to the case, one of the four lugs can become damaged or even break away, but this can be repaired. The Dial – Scratched, pitted and mottled dials can be restored or ‘refinished’ to a very high standard. If the best dial restorers are used, the results are often spectacular and as good as new. However, this again can be expensive and if the dial is in good condition, it may be better to leave the dial alone to retain the originality of the watch. The Hands/Winding Crown – Over many years, hands and winding crowns are often replaced with generic crowns. We can usually source period hands/crowns but these can be scarce and expensive. The Lens – While scratched acrylic lenses can be polished, we prefer to replace. A little more expensive, but in our opinion, well worthwhile. To summarise, the restoration of a valuable vintage gold watch can be expensive, but almost always worthwhile. The cost is usually less than the value added to the watch and perhaps more importantly, brings back to life something which will always be treasured and enjoyed for generations to come!
