OMEGA Omega 'Secret' Bracelet Watch by Gilbert Albert - (Ref. 40960356/AS11817) Product Details

A secret, squared—and unmistakably Gilbert Albert.

Created during Omega’s most experimental era in the 1960s, this Maille d’Or (gold mesh) secret watch is a study in sculptural restraint. Conceived at a moment when the brand was pushing far beyond its tool-watch identity, it treats watchmaking as wearable art—where texture takes precedence over symmetry and emotion wins out over convention. The result is less a conventional wristwatch than a small piece of modernist jewelry, quietly hiding time within a conceptual flowing field of gold.

The compact 20mm-square case in 18K yellow gold conceals its gilt dial beneath a matching hinged cover—an aperture that keeps time hidden until summoned. It’s a deliberate gesture: time as something intimate, not broadcast. Signed case, dial, and movement, the watch houses the manual-winding Caliber 483 (17 jewels), a slim, refined engine built for elegance rather than spectacle.

The integrated 18K Omega bracelet flows seamlessly into a locking clasp, transforming the entire piece into a continuous golden form—more jewel than instrument. Snap-on caseback, no box or papers—just the object itself, uncompromising and complete.

Albert’s Omega years represent one of the brand’s most daring design chapters—organic, futuristic, and still wildly underappreciated.

Increasingly rare, and highly sought after by those in the know. A hidden dial by a designer’s designer. Time, disguised as art.
