According to the Archives of Omega the present watch was manufactured in 1940.
Even the most cursory of glances to this watch will immediately reveal its absolutely stunning condition: the case presents astounding crispness, extremely unusual for a piece of this age. Additionally, the dial is superb with untouched scales which shine in the deep pitch black gloss dial. The style is a remarkable trait d’union between the minimalistic, nearly military style of timepieces realized from the 1940s onward, and earlier art deco pieces: the dial, featuring simple gilt baton numerals and the sought-after railway divisions, is reminiscent of the former style; the case, with the playful cylindrical decorations to the size of the bow and unusual spherical crown is an obvious nod to the latter.
This is a nearly unique occasion for the connoisseur of fine vintage timepieces to acquire an unusual and very close to new old stock condition example of early Omega production.
