Omega classic military Ref. 2383-4

Omega was founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt at the age of 23. The brand’s reputation grew fast and in 1895 the watches achieved a precision of 30 seconds a day.
By the turn of the 19th century Omega was one of Switzerland’s largest watch companies with 240,000 watches produced annually and employing 800 people.

Introduced in 1939, the 30T2 was a highly adaptable base movement and different versions were in production until 1963.
The design is simplicity itself, small enough to fit into a 33mm. dress watch case, but otherwise sized to allow the largest possible balance and barrel. It was so robust and elegantly designed that watchmakers still compliment its serviceability, durability and ease of assembly.

The British government ordered over 110,000 during the WWII.

This watch fully represents the stylistic lines of the 1940s
Obviously the look and geometries are those reminiscent of the various Suveran and Seamaster.
Perhaps fittingly, this watch definitely exudes a certain military-esque vibe, with the Arabic numerals at every hour marker and the sub-seconds nestled beneath the fantastic syringe handset. This is a gorgeous, historic, timeless piece that would look great on any wrist and in any application.

The patina and toning of the dial are incredible and make this piece something unique and inimitable.
The dial has turned a spectacular polished silver, contrasting perfectly with radium hour markers and hands.
