Omega X Gilbert Albert Round Coral Hidden Watch
This Omega hidden-dial bracelet watch presents a softer, more fluid interpretation of 1960s sculptural design. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the watch integrates its small white dial seamlessly into a richly textured bracelet, allowing the piece to read first as jewelry and only subtly as a timepiece. Measuring approximately 18 mm at the dial and powered by a manual-wind movement, it offers an elegant balance between ornament and function. The result is a wearable object defined by movement, texture, and light rather than traditional case architecture.
Excellent vintage condition. NOS with hangtags.
While sharing the same technical foundation as its counterpart, this example distinguishes itself through its rounded proportions and organic silhouette. The bracelet’s undulating openwork construction creates a sense of softness and rhythm, contrasting with the more architectural geometry of similar hidden-dial designs from the period.
During the 1960s, Omega embraced experimental forms that reflected broader artistic movements of the era, when watches were conceived as expressions of modern design rather than purely utilitarian instruments. Hidden-dial creations such as this allowed gold craftsmanship to take center stage, transforming the watch into a sculptural jewel that revealed time only when sought.
Preserved in excellent vintage condition with original hangtags, this piece stands as a rare and evocative example of Omega’s design-forward spirit: fluid, expressive, and unmistakably of its era.
