Vintage Omega Cioccolatone 3903 Black Waffle Dial for sale

Description ▲

This Omega reference 3903 from the 1950s, known among collectors as the “Cioccolatone”, captivates with its exceptional combination of an ultra-rare dial and its condition. The striking square yellow gold case, measuring 33 × 33 mm, is in excellent condition, showing crisp lines and deep, well-preserved gold hallmarks. The distinctive, sculptural lugs give the watch a strong architectural presence on the wrist.

A particularly remarkable feature is the black waffle dial, an extremely rare configuration of which only very few examples are known. According to our research, only three examples are publicly known. The flawless condition further highlights the exceptional quality of this piece and makes it an almost impossible-to-find watch. The applied gold hour markers and hands create an elegant contrast and complete the harmonious overall aesthetic.

In its entirety, this watch embodies the design sophistication and craftsmanship of Omega’s production of that era. The interplay of rarity, design and condition makes it a highly desirable collector’s piece.
