Vintage Omega Swiss Watch, Ref. KL 6312, Golden Linen Dial, Cal. 560, U.S. Collection from 1964

This vintage Omega KL 6312 from 1964 is a standout piece from the Omega U.S. Collection, known today for its uncommon movements and distinctive mid-century style. The defining feature of this watch is its golden linen dial—a textured, fabric-like surface that adds depth, warmth, and visual character. The light catches the pattern gently, giving the dial a refined presence that has made linen-dial Omegas increasingly sought after by collectors.

The watch features a 34mm case with a 41.2mm lug-to-lug measurement, creating a balanced profile that suits a wide range of wrists. Baton markers, slim hands, and a framed date window at 3 o’clock complete the layout, keeping the focus on the textured dial. The period bracelet complements the case and enhances the clean, elegant style associated with 1960s Omega dress watches.

Inside is the rare Omega Caliber 560 automatic movement. Produced exclusively for the U.S. market, only 3,000 units were manufactured, divided across nine models. This makes each reference in the U.S. Collection comparatively scarce. The serial number—21864188—dates this example precisely to 1964, placing it at the heart of Omega’s American-market strategy.

This vintage Omega linen-dial model appeals to collectors who appreciate subtle detail, rarity, and classic Swiss design. With its warm golden tone and uncommon Cal. 560, it offers both visual charm and strong vintage interest.
