Specialist note

With Omega Garanzia d'Origine dated 31 December 1956, fitted presentation box and product literature.

According to the Archives of Omega, this watch was produced under the license "Lemania", subsidiary of Omega at the time, and delivered to Italy on 22 July 1940.

As the Omega Archives confirm it was not unusual during this time period that this watch was delivered to Italy in 1940 and only then sold thereafter in 1956 as the Garantie confirms.
