By 1938, the world was on the cusp of war, and watchmaking was still a deeply artisanal craft. This early Omega captures that transitional moment, one where elegance, precision, and durability began to portray itself in wearable form. Powered by Omega’s Caliber 26.5 SOB, a 15 jewel manual wind movement, one known for reliability. This beauty also sits in a rare 35mm stainless steel case, oversized for the pre-WWII era and a noticeable statement on any wrist today. The dial is untouched and cloaked in a warm, even patina that speaks to nearly a century of silent timekeeping and a well lived life. Roman numeral hour markers retain their structure while blued steel hands show age appropriate oxidation. A well proportioned sub-seconds register at 6 o'clock brings together an already elegant composition. Framing the dial is a crisp minute track that allowed for technicality amidst a romantic aesthetic. This isn’t a reissue or revival, it's a true survivor and rare example of 1930s Omega design preserved in a form that feels just as wearable today as it did the year it left the factory floor.
