ANALISI<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Questo \u00e8 un orologio speciale. Una combinazione di abilit\u00e0 artigianali che rende questo pezzo un vero e proprio capolavoro estremamente raro. Nei primi anni Cinquanta si assiste a un'evoluzione del gusto e del design: gli artisti si liberano dal peso della tragedia della Seconda Guerra Mondiale e si aprono all'esplorazione di nuovi concetti estetici. Questo straordinario Omega \u00e8 un esempio concreto di questa evoluzione.<\/span><\/p>\n

Il quadrante d'oro \u00e8 una dimostrazione di maestria artigianale. La sua superficie presenta una decorazione guilloch\u00e9 esterna. Una sottilissima cornice interna lo separa dal centro del quadrante, trattato con delicate scanalature a linee verticali parallele. Al centro del quadrante, a ore 12, si trova una sezione rettangolare in rilievo con la firma e il logo Omega. Gli indici applicati contribuiscono alla fantasia del layout: hanno la forma di doppi diamanti; pi\u00f9 all'interno, a ore 12, 3 e 9, si trovano splendidi indici a base circolare che si ergono come tre piccole piramidi scintillanti. Questo magnifico quadrante \u00e8 rifinito con lancette douphine affilate come un rasoio e una superficie a doppia inclinazione.<\/span><\/p>\n

La cassa in oro rosa massiccio con anse a \"cappuccio\" \u00e8 un capolavoro del maestro ginevrino Antoine Gerlach, attivo dagli anni Trenta agli anni Settanta (marchio chiave: \"4\"). \u00c8 l'artista che, a partire dal 1932, ha creato alcune delle casse pi\u00f9 belle e iconiche di Patek Philippe. Ha realizzato l'iconica cassa in oro del Calatrava 96R (1941) e quella del \"Disco Volante\" calendario perpetuo 3448 (inizio anni '70). Gerlach ha anche collaborato a lungo con Omega. Progett\u00f2 e produsse le casse del Constellation con quadranti pie-pan \"immaturi\" (o quadranti \"pseudo-pie-pan\") tra gli anni 1950 e 1960. In breve, un grande maestro della cassa, che ha creato alcuni degli orologi pi\u00f9 iconici di tutti i tempi a Ginevra.<\/span><\/p>\n

Questa splendida cassa \u00e8 abbinata a un bracciale altrettanto splendido, costruito con intervalli di quattro e tre maglie molto piccole e morbide. Termina con una chiusura regolabile per garantire comfort e sicurezza al polso.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sotto il prezioso e raffinato fondello di questo orologio si nasconde il calibro Omega 342 a carica automatica. Entrato in produzione nel 1949, ha ridisegnato il calibro 340 di qualche mese prima per migliorarne la funzione di carica. L'Omega 342 ha una larghezza di 28,5 mm e uno spessore di 4,8 mm; ha 17 rubini, una riserva di carica di 42 ore e una frequenza di 19.800 vph.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

A combination of craftsmanship that makes this piece a truly and extremely rare masterpiece. The early 1950s saw an evolution in taste and design: artists were freeing themselves from the burden of the tragedy of World War II and were opening themselves to the exploration of new aesthetic concepts. This extraordinary Omega is a concrete example of this evolution. The gold dial is a display of craftsmanship. Its surface features a guilloche-decorated exterior. A very thin internal frame separates it from the center of the dial, which is treated with delicate grooves in parallel vertical lines. At the center of the dial, at 12 o'clock, is a rectangular raised section featuring the Omega signature and logo. The applied indexes contribute to this imaginative flair of the layout: they are shaped like double diamonds; further inward, at 12, 3, and 9 o'clock, are stunning circular-based indexes that rise like three small, shimmering pyramids. This magnificent dial is finished with razor-sharp douphine hands and a double-sloped surface. The solid 18K rose gold case with "hood" lugs is a masterpiece by Genevan master Antoine Gerlach, active from the 1930s to the 1970s (key hallmark: "4").

He crafted the iconic gold case of the Calatrava 96R (1941) and that of the "Disco Volante" perpetual calendar 3448 (early 1970s). Gerlach also collaborated extensively with Omega. He designed and produced the Constellation cases with "immature" pie-pan dials (or "pseudo-pie-pan" dials) between the 1950s and 1960s. In short, a great master casemaker, who created some of the most iconic watches of all time in Geneva. This splendid case is paired with an equally splendid bracelet constructed with intervals of four and three very small, soft links. It ends in an adjustable clasp to ensure comfort and security on the wrist. Beneath the precious and thoughtful caseback of this watch is the Omega 342 automatic bumper caliber. It went into production in 1949 and redesigned the caliber 340 from a few months earlier to improve its winding function.

Cassa in oro rosa massiccio 18Kt di 35 mm x 42 mm Quadrante guilloch\u00e9 in oro rosa Bracciale in oro rosa Cristallo autentico Movimento Omega 342 a carica automatica ANALISI Questo \u00e8 un orologio speciale. Una combinazione di abilit\u00e0 artigianali che rende questo pezzo un vero e proprio capolavoro estremamente raro. Nei primi anni Cinquanta si assiste a un'evoluzione del gusto e del design: gli artisti si liberano dal peso della tragedia della Seconda Guerra Mondiale e si aprono all'esplorazione di nuovi concetti estetici. Questo straordinario Omega \u00e8 un esempio concreto di questa evoluzione. Il quadrante d'oro \u00e8 una dimostrazione di maestria artigianale. La sua superficie presenta una decorazione guilloch\u00e9 esterna. Una sottilissima cornice interna lo separa dal centro del quadrante, che \u00e8 trattato con delicate scanalature in linee verticali parallele. Al centro del quadrante, a ore 12, si trova una sezione rettangolare in rilievo con la firma e il logo Omega. Gli indici applicati contribuiscono alla fantasia del layout: hanno la forma di doppi diamanti; pi\u00f9 all'interno, a ore 12, 3 e 9, si trovano splendidi indici a base circolare che si ergono come tre piccole piramidi scintillanti. Questo magnifico quadrante \u00e8 rifinito con lancette douphine affilate come un rasoio e una superficie a doppia inclinazione. La cassa in oro rosa massiccio con anse a \"cappuccio\" \u00e8 un capolavoro del maestro ginevrino Antoine Gerlach, attivo dagli anni Trenta agli anni Settanta (marchio chiave: \"4\"). \u00c8 l'artista che, a partire dal 1932, ha creato alcune delle casse pi\u00f9 belle e iconiche di Patek Philippe. Ha realizzato l'iconica cassa in oro del Calatrava 96R (1941) e quella del \"Disco Volante\" calendario perpetuo 3448 (inizio anni '70). Gerlach ha anche collaborato a lungo con Omega. Progett\u00f2 e produsse le casse del Constellation con quadranti pie-pan \"immaturi\" (o quadranti \"pseudo-pie-pan\") tra gli anni 1950 e 1960. In breve, un grande maestro della cassa, che ha creato alcuni degli orologi pi\u00f9 iconici di tutti i tempi a Ginevra. Questa splendida cassa \u00e8 abbinata a un bracciale altrettanto splendido, costruito con intervalli di quattro e tre maglie molto piccole e morbide. Termina con una chiusura regolabile che garantisce comfort e sicurezza al polso. Sotto il prezioso e premuroso fondello di questo orologio si nasconde il calibro Omega 342 automatico a paraurti. Entrato in produzione nel 1949, ha ridisegnato il calibro 340 di qualche mese prima per migliorarne la funzione di carica. L'Omega 342 ha una larghezza di 28,5 mm e uno spessore di 4,8 mm; ha 17 rubini, una riserva di carica di 42 ore e una frequenza di 19.800 vph.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/omega-automatic-gerlach-18kt-rose-gold-case-in-house-self-winding-movement-342-from-the-1950s\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"it-IT","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/omega-automatic-gerlach-18kt-rose-gold-case-in-house-self-winding-movement-342-from-the-1950s\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"it-IT","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/omega-automatic-gerlach-18kt-rose-gold-case-in-house-self-winding-movement-342-from-the-1950s\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OMEGA-AUTOMATIC-_GERLACH_-18KT-ROSE-GOLD_1_1.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/OMEGA-AUTOMATIC-_GERLACH_-18KT-ROSE-GOLD_1_1.jpg","width":2013,"height":2013},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/shop\/omega-automatic-gerlach-18kt-rose-gold-case-in-house-self-winding-movement-342-from-the-1950s\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Shop","item":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/negozio\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Omega Automatic “Gerlach” 18KT Rose Gold Case In-House Self-Winding Movement 342 From the 1950s"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/","name":"Il Vintageur","description":"La vostra collezione di orologi su misura","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"it-IT"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#organization","name":"Il Vintageur","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"it-IT","@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/logo-dark.svg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/logo-dark.svg","width":392,"height":28,"caption":"The Vintageur"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"},"sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vintageur\/"]}]},"product_price_currency":"EUR","og_availability":"instock","product_availability":"instock","product_retailer_item_id":"835","product_condition":"new"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/62482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62482"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/62482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63240,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/62482\/revisions\/63240"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=62482"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=62482"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevintageur.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=62482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
