Description

Crafted with a 34mm gold-plated case, the Omega Seamaster ref. 2846 offers a modest yet impactful wrist presence, epitomizing the understated elegance of Omega’s mid-century design language. The rounded case edges and solid case back underscore its purpose as a reliable everyday watch, while also bringing a refined finish that sits comfortably and naturally on the wrist. Designed during an era when Omega was pioneering water resistance, this case represented a new standard of durability in luxury watches, intended to safeguard the movement from both time and the elements.

The Movement

Inside, Omega’s Caliber 501 powers the Seamaster 2846 with precision and reliability. Known for its automatic configuration, Caliber 501 was part of Omega’s trusted 500 series, renowned for dependable engineering and smooth automatic winding. By the mid-1950s, Omega had perfected this movement series, and the Caliber 501 was lauded not only for its accuracy but also for its robustness, ensuring that the watch maintained precision over decades of wear. This movement symbolizes Omega’s commitment to crafting watches as functional as they were stylish, making it an enduring favorite among collectors.

The Dial

The dial of the Seamaster ref. 2846 is a study in elegant simplicity. Its matte white surface contrasts beautifully with gold-plated dauphine hands and applied Arabic numerals at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 hour markers, creating a clean yet striking appearance that is easy to read at a glance. The minimalist approach to the design highlights Omega’s skill in balancing aesthetics with practicality—a trademark that makes vintage Seamasters so distinctive.
