OMEGA VINTAGE WORKSHOP

OMEGA VINTAGE - WORKSHOP

OMEGA Vintage workshop is staffed by dedicated OMEGA watchmakers who service, repair and restore antique and vintage OMEGA timepieces. OMEGA's commitment is also expressed by the diligence of talented watchmakers who are trained to the highest possible standards.

 

THE RESTORATION PROCESS

We require all timepieces that require service or repair to be consigned at our store whereby a service/estimate number is allocated and thereon sent to the workshop for visual inspection.

  • Estimates can take up to 10 - 12 weeks excluding public holidays and are valid for 30 days once issued.
  • Service to a vintage timepiece is always subject to estimate, which will be sent to you formally in writing. 
  • Servicing is undertaken by our in-house OMEGA workshop, OMEGA Service Centre, Southampton or OMEGA Switzerland.

Please note: We regret we unable to provide verbal estimates or estimates ‘while-you-wait’ at any time.

COST ESTIMATE

The price for having a watch serviced and repaired depends on the movement calibre, its complexity, overall condition and age.
