Brand: Omega
Typology: Vintage dresswatch
Year: 1945

The Omega Ref. 2890-4 is a refined and oversized dress watch from the early 1950s, embodying the understated elegance and precision of mid-century Swiss horology. Measuring 37 mm, a generous size for the period, the case offers a strong presence on the wrist while retaining the slim and balanced proportions that defined Omega’s classic design language. The stainless steel back is adorned with the original Omega logo medallion (“bollino”), a detail much appreciated by collectors as a mark of authenticity and period correctness.

The dial is a beautifully preserved white example with applied silver-tone indexes struck in relief (“indici a conio”), which catch the light elegantly and provide a subtle depth to the composition. At 6 o’clock, a small seconds register adds both functionality and visual balance, creating the quintessential vintage dress watch layout. Inside beats the reliable manual-wind Omega Caliber 266, part of the famous 30T2 family, celebrated for its robustness, precision, and ease of service—an enduring testimony to Omega’s mechanical excellence of the era.

This particular watch retains remarkable originality, including its black lizard leather strap and the correct Omega signed steel buckle, making it a rare find for collectors who value completeness and authenticity. Produced in 1945, the Ref. 2890-4 is more than a timepiece; it is a piece of history that reflects post-war optimism and Omega’s dedication to producing elegant watches for the modern gentleman.
