Essay

These few watches follow the fashion of the 1950's, with their refined style and simplicity featuring plain dials and simple cases, falling just shy of the extragevant and bold 60's. 

The OMEGA calibre 571 was though to be first introduced in 1958, featuring 24 jewels, a self-winding rotor and a sweeping centre seconds hand.
