Omega Classic Steel Ref. 2691 – Gilt Dial from 1952

The Omega Classic Steel Ref. 2691 from 1952 is an exceptional vintage watch with more than seven decades of history. Its classic stainless steel case, gold-colored dial, and proportions typical of the era give it an unmistakable character.

For an Omega over 70 years old, this specimen presents itself in very good overall condition. At the same time, the watch impresses with very good measured rate values and fully functional mechanics.

Over 70 Years of Omega History

This Omega dates back to 1952, making it part of a generation of timepieces that already have an impressive history behind them. Especially with watches of this age, it is particularly pleasing when both the case and the movement are still in convincing condition.

The 33 mm stainless steel case has the classic proportions of the early 1950s and looks extremely elegant and understated on the wrist.

Characterful Gold-Colored Dial

The gold-colored dial creates a beautiful contrast to the stainless steel case and gives the watch a warm, classic look.

The dial is rated Good and shows the authentic character of a vintage watch over 70 years old. Together with the case, it creates an appearance typical of the era, which particularly highlights the historical charm of this specimen.

The currently installed acrylic glass is no longer the original Omega glass, but is in Very Good condition and has been professionally polished.

Omega Caliber 410

Inside works the Omega Caliber 410, a classic manual-wind movement from the mid-20th century. According to the manufacturer, the movement has a power reserve of approximately 48 hours.

The movement has been professionally cleaned and inspected. The subsequent measurement on the Timegrapher shows +6 seconds per day, an amplitude of 223°, and a beat error of only 0.2 ms.

For a mechanical movement over 70 years old, these are very good measured values. The watch runs reliably, and all functions work exactly as they should.

Professionally Cleaned and Refurbished

The Omega has been professionally cleaned and thoroughly inspected. The stainless steel case has been highly polished, and the bezel has also been polished to a high sheen.

The acrylic crystal has been professionally polished to best preserve the watch's appearance. Additionally, a new leather strap has been fitted, which perfectly complements the classic look of the Omega.

The strap offers a length of approximately 23.5 cm, making the watch flexibly wearable despite its historical size.
