Description
The 32.5mm stainless steel case offers a refined and understated presence on the wrist, typical of the 1950s yet versatile enough for modern wear. Its smooth finish highlights the clean lines of the case, while the slim bezel allows the dial to take center stage. The curved lugs provide a comfortable and ergonomic fit, ensuring the watch sits gracefully on the wrist. The robust snap-back case is built to last, protecting the movement inside while maintaining the streamlined profile that defines this classic design.
The Honeycomb Dial
The standout feature of the Omega 2635-5 is its rare honeycomb dial, an intricate and textured design that adds depth and character to the watch. The honeycomb pattern, achieved through a complex stamping process, reflects light beautifully, giving the dial a dynamic quality that changes with the angle of view. Slim, applied arrow hour markers and polished dauphine hands enhance the elegance of the design, while the sub-seconds register at 6 o’clock adds vintage charm and functionality. The Omega logo and “Automatic” text are subtly placed, completing the dial’s harmonious and balanced layout.
The Movement
At the heart of the reference 2635-5 is Omega’s Caliber 351, part of the brand’s innovative automatic movement series. With 17 jewels and a robust construction, the Caliber 351 is known for its durability and precision, making it a mechanical workhorse of the 1950s. This movement not only underscores Omega’s technical expertise but also provides a tangible connection to the golden age of watchmaking.
The Omega Automatic reference 2635-5 is a quintessential vintage timepiece that captures the elegance and innovation of Omega’s 1950s designs. From its compact stainless steel case to the exquisite honeycomb dial and the reliable Caliber 351, this watch is a testament to Omega’s enduring legacy. It remains a cherished choice for collectors who appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of mid-century Omega watches.
