Typology: Vintage dresswatch
Year: 1938

Among seasoned Omega collectors, pieces like this are spoken about in a different tone—quieter, more reverent. Nicknamed “Disco Volante” for its seamless, almost sculptural silhouette, this late-1930s reference embodies a moment when design dared to step beyond convention. The case flows in a continuous curve, with the strap discreetly tucked beneath, giving the watch that unmistakable “flying saucer” profile—radical then, still captivating today.

This is the largest execution of the reference, a commanding 39mm that feels astonishingly modern on the wrist, yet remains deeply rooted in pre-war aesthetics. The original black gilt dial is where the magic truly happens: now gently turning tropical, it reveals warm undertones that shift under sunlight, creating a living surface that changes with every glance. It’s not just aging—it’s character earned over nearly a century.

Inside beats Omega’s respected Cal. 26,5 SOB, a movement known for its robustness and precision, still performing exactly as it should. Completed with a period-correct pigskin band that echoes the warmth of the dial, this is not simply a watch—it’s an object of design, history, and presence. Pieces like this don’t circulate often, and when they do, they tend not to stay available for long.
