Omega Cocktail Watch 18k Rose Gold
Take a look at this exquisite cocktail watch by Omega, crafted in 18k Rose gold.
Dating back to around 1963, this charming timepiece predates the availability of tiny quartz movements. Despite its petite 18 mm diameter, it houses a hand-wound mechanical calibre with a back-winder.
Though partially worn, this watch features a beautiful horizontally brushed dial. It proudly displays the Omega brand name at twelve o’clock. The dial’s beauty is enhanced by the contrasting markers. However, the true standout feature is the crystal, with its faceted outer edges. If you’re searching for the perfect watch for elegant cocktail parties, this might be the one!

The cocktail watch is surely the most glamorous incarnation of the humble wristwatch. Originally introduced by Tiffany & Co in the early twentieth century, the genre represents time keeping in the form of true jewelry.
There is something secretive about the cocktail watch. Many examples feature hidden clock faces, as not to break the bracelet-style aesthetic. The idea was to allow women to discretely check the time, without anyone noticing. Back in those days, it was considered bad form for women to look at the time, so hiding a watch inside a bracelet was a clever way to work around the restrictive etiquette. In this sense, the cocktail watch can be considered an early form of emancipation.
The cocktail watch is often delicate, with intricate designs in precious metals such as gold or platinum. Many are richly decorated with engravings and/or diamonds. These are obviously not everyday watches then. They were created for special, formal occasions such as weddings. They are particularly well-suited to a classy cocktail hour get-together with friends as well, lending them their name.
If you are looking for a way to add some glamour to your life, a cocktail watch is the perfect place to start!
