Omega 17J automatic (self-winding) wrist watch #10805612, case #10742599, rose-gold flashed movement with bold red ruby jewels and a brushed finish, single sunk (SS) gold-toned metal dial with a brushed finish, slender raised gold markers, a black-marked outer minute register and a black-marked subsidiary seconds register has some light patina starting across the surface and on the markers along with some fading to the lettering on "automatic", slender gold steel baton & whip style hands with pointed tips and a blue steel second hand.
Elegant smooth polish 18k gold round case with a sloped bezel supporting a slightly domed plastic crystal, comma-shaped extended lugs, a stepped detail to the bezel edges & frame and a fancy crown, case is showing light normal wear with a few very light scuffs & short scratches but no notable damage, we do believe the unmarked crown is a replacement to the case, measures approx. 32mm in diameter x 39mm lug to lug x 10mm thick (crystal included), weighs approx. 19.8dwt (movement included).
New lightly padded, heavily textured black leather strap band with generic markings and an Omega marked YGF buckle, while technically a triple signed watch by our definition we also acknowledge that the band is not fully Omega. This watch also comes with a bright red leatherette box with a red velvet interior, a red cardboard outer shipping carton and a beige pouch with faded jeweler's markings, the cardboard box does have some damage at the corners. An attractive, classic solid gold Omega from the 1940s in excellent overall condition!

This watch is in good running condition, unless otherwise noted in the description. This means that on receipt, pending any item-specific running conditions noted in the description, you can expect the watch to be winding and setting properly and to run smoothly while keeping reasonable time. We consider "reasonable time" to meet these basic guidelines:
- Railroad Grade Watches will be keeping +/- 5 minutes per day
- Pocket and Wrist Watches with 15 or more jewels will be keeping +/- 10 minutes per day
- All key wind watches and watches with 14 or fewer jewels will be keeping +/- 15 minutes per day
The above guideline is the lowest standard in which we would ship out a watch, however in most cases, you will see much better timekeeping. Most of our watches have been in storage for many years, so if you plan on carrying/wearing them everyday, you should consider having them cleaned and oiled soon, and then once a year thereafter to keep them in top running condition. If the watches will be for occasional use or display, they should be cleaned and serviced every 3 to 5 years depending on use.
As of November 24th, 2025, we are not offering a cleaning and service option through PM Time Service. While we do hope to offer this again in the future, we are unfortunately unable to meet customer requests for watch servicing at this time. Please note that, unless otherwise mentioned within the "Full Description" tab, this watch is being sold in good running condition and is ready to wear or carry on arrival.
Unlike modern quartz watches, most vintage watches need daily winding in order to keep the watch functioning for timekeeping. Additionally, there are a number of different ways to set the time other than simply pulling the crown away from the watch body. We are happy to provide an overview of each of the different setting types on our
"How To Use" page, where we also provide information on proper winding techniques for each style and some suggestions for the proper long term care and storage of your watch.
For your gift giving convenience, please find a consolidated overview of the information on this item, with no reference to the price, on this
printer-optimized page.
