Description

Inside, the watch is powered by Omega’s manual-wind Caliber 284, one of the company’s workhorse movements from the 1950s. Known for its reliability and ease of service, the Caliber 284 is a movement with a reputation for precision and longevity. This movement reflects Omega’s commitment to durability and accuracy in mechanical engineering, crafted to provide a smooth, dependable timekeeping experience with every wind.

The Dial

The champagne dial is an integral part of the design, lending the piece a soft, vintage glow. This particular shade complements the gold-plated case, creating a harmonious, cohesive look. The dial’s simplicity is further emphasized by the choice of thin, stylized Arabic numerals at the 3,6,9 and 12 hour marker. This use of Arabic numerals, rather than the more commonly seen baton or applied indices, is a thoughtful design touch that subtly enhances legibility while lending an old-world charm to the piece. Omega’s decision to use these numerals reveals an appreciation for functional elegance that would later evolve as tastes shifted to bolder, more modernist styles.

The Case

The excellent conditon gold-plated case not only enhances the watch’s refined aesthetic but also speaks to the mid-century trend of accessible luxury, where plated models allowed wearers to enjoy the look of gold without the expense of a solid case. This piece is emblematic of Omega’s 1950s dress watches, blending subtle luxury with functional elegance. For collectors or enthusiasts, reference 2902-1 is a prized find—a window into a transformative decade for Omega, when the brand solidified its reputation as a leader in Swiss watchmaking.
