This is an extremely attractive watch with a beautifully designed, two-coloured dial. The gold-coloured Arabic hour markers in a period font are set on a black band around the outside of the dial - this vintage classic piece is a real eye-catcher on the wrist!


The Omega calibre 30T2 was introduced in 1938; it was considered to be a very adaptable movement and produced in various versions until 1963. The movement only has a diameter of 30 mm but is set up to allow the largest possible sizes for balance and barrel. Because of its quality and reliability, the British Government ordered over 110,000 examples of this timepiece during World War II.
