The gold-colored hands, indices, and Omega logo are beautifully positioned, exuding a sense of luxury that captivates all who see it. In particular, the \u003cb\u003efaceted heart-shaped indices\u003c\/b\u003e that catch the light are an elaborate detail that radiates a special charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe case is made of \u003cb\u003esolid 18k gold\u003c\/b\u003e, adding a noble aura to the wrist.

It features the beautiful \u003cb\u003ered-gold plating\u003c\/b\u003e unique to Omega, lending it the dignity expected of a high-end timepiece. In the Cal. 505, the rotor was made thicker than in previous automatic models to improve winding efficiency, which in turn increased the movement's overall thickness. Consequently, this model features a distinctive, protruding case back design that serves as an iconic trait for watches equipped with the Cal. 505.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs a \u003cb\u003enon-date model\u003c\/b\u003e, the calendar mechanism does not interfere with the dial, allowing you to \u003cb\u003efully appreciate the refined design\u003c\/b\u003e of this timepiece—a key part of its appeal.
