A solid 18k gold vintage Omega from 1944 is not something you encounter often. Mass production of gold watches has started in 50's, but before that gold cases were a rarity. 35mm solid rose gold case, completely original, housing one of the most celebrated Swiss movements - Cal. 30T2. 

That dial is the heart of this watch. A original two-tone surface - a deeper, warm bronze outer chapter ring framing a lighter champagne central field - creates a quiet depth that no restored dial can replicate. Applied gold Arabic numerals mark even hours, with slim gold baton indices at the remaining positions. The dial has original radium lume. The small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock carries a fine guilloché texture. 

The Omega Calibre 30T2, introduced in 1939, became the foundation of Omega's reputation for reliability and accuracy, produced until 1963 with roughly three million examples manufactured — equipping everything from precision dress watches to military field watches contracted by Allied governments during the Second World War.

Paired here with a steel mesh bracelet and black leather strap that complement the case colour beautifully.
