Corporate service awards were a genuine mid-century institution and Omega supplied a great many of them. A named, dated caseback turns an anonymous dress watch into a documented object with a single traceable owner, which is why collectors have come to seek presentation pieces rather than avoid them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003chr size=\"2\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOffered by ReWrist.
