Omega Seamaster Rose Gold Ref. 2981

Introduced in 1948, the Omega Seamaster line was created to celebrate the brand’s centennial and quickly became a cornerstone of Omega’s collection. Originally conceived as a robust, water-resistant dress watch, the early Seamaster models combined elegant design with everyday durability. Drawing inspiration from military timepieces produced by Omega during World War II, the line evolved over decades to include both professional dive watches and refined dress models.

The Omega Seamaster here is a ref. 2981 in rose gold is a rare and elegant dress watch from the 1950s, showcasing the refined craftsmanship of Omega’s golden era. Housed in a 35mm rose gold case with sharply sculpted lugs, it embodies the classic proportions and sophisticated design that define the early Seamaster line. The highlight is its stunning two-tone dial—typically combining matte and satin silver or champagne tones—complemented by applied hour markers and faceted dauphine hands that enhance depth and legibility. Powered by the self-winding caliber 491, it offers mechanical reliability and historical significance. Originally part of Omega’s water-resistant dress watches, the Seamaster 2981, paired with a brown alligator strap, blends sporty durability with elegant styling.
