Box and papers not included. Carefully packaged and sent by insured and registered mail via Fed. Ex. The case back of this Omega timepiece does not bear any inscriptions, not even the usual kind, due to the prohibition on importing gold during the years of Portugal's fascist dictatorship (1933-1974) . The dictator Salazar forbade the entry of gold or gold objects into Portugal because the Portuguese state held large reserves of high quality gold (18kt / 0. 750) . This meant that prestigious watch manufacturers such as Omega would send the watch mechanisms, while the cases themselves were manufactured in Portugal.
