The Omega Ref. 2910-8 SC is a remarkable example of mid-century Swiss watchmaking, presented here in an exceptionally rare New Old Stock condition. Preserved untouched for decades, this piece still retains its original box, hang tag, strap, and signed buckle—an ensemble that makes it a true collector’s treasure. The watch is powered by the hand-wound caliber 286, part of the legendary 30mm family of movements, known for their precision and reliability. Its serial, in the 20.xxx.xxx range, dates it to the beginning of 1960s, a golden era for Omega design and craftsmanship.
The 35mm stainless steel case features dramatic, thick “elicoidali” lugs, often referred to as “fat lugs,” which give the watch an assertive presence on the wrist while maintaining the elegance expected from the period. The white soleil dial remains untouched, radiating a subtle sunburst effect under the light. Applied gold indices and dauphine hands complete the refined aesthetic, achieving a perfect balance of sophistication and clarity.
Finding a vintage Omega of this reference in such pristine, unworn state is virtually impossible today. The untouched condition, combined with its full set of accessories, elevates this watch well beyond a simple timepiece—it is a piece of history, a snapshot of Omega’s artistry at its peak. For the discerning collector, this Ref. 2910-8 SC represents one of the rarest opportunities to acquire a true New Old Stock Omega from the 1960s.
