Omega LU6304 Cal.550 US Collection - 1969

This 1969 Omega reference LU6304 is a confidential piece, highly sought after by discerning collectors. Produced exclusively for the American market as part of Omega's "US Collection," this range was assembled in North America with locally manufactured cases and imported Swiss movements. This local assembly allowed Omega to bypass significant US customs duties on watches and precious metals imported fully assembled from Switzerland. It was a clever business strategy that gave rise to rare references, little known to the general public today but highly valued by specialists. This reference LU6304, in a 10-carat gold-plated case, is a direct testament to this little-known episode in Omega's commercial history in the 1960s. It is powered by the Omega 550 caliber, an automatic movement introduced in 1959 and emblematic of Omega's great technical period. This watch comes with its complete set, including: Original Omega box Original Omega warranty card Service invoice
