Specialist note

The present gold reference 1803 is most certainly a very attractive watch. It is distinguished by its beautiful diamond-set dial graced by the national emblem of Oman, and the calendar indications in Arabic scripture, both for day and for date. Furthermore it is preserved in very good overall condition.
