It is a design decision that was purely aesthetic, made at a moment in Swiss watchmaking when craft and ambition were at their peak, and it transforms what would otherwise be a conventional round dial into something sculptural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example wears the Arabic numerals at 12, 6, and 9 o'clock — a configuration that gives it a slightly more instrument-like character than the pure baton-index variants, while retaining elegance. The dial features some minor spotting, very common for vintage watches of this period. The gold-capped case — 14ct gold over steel — carries the warmth of gold without the weight, and on a 34.5mm case that already sits lightly on the wrist. The crown winds smoothly and is branded Omega (modern replacement), along with a replacement Omega buckle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe caseback is in fine shape and bears an engraving dating it to 1961. It places this specific example in a moment in time, and combined with its original papers, makes it one of the more documented 14393's likely to come to market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1200\" data-end=\"1473\"\u003eWHAT'S INSIDE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Ref. 14393 is powered by the Omega Calibre. 561 — a 24-jewel automatic chronometer movement that was among the finest small-series calibres Omega produced in the early 1960s.
