Catalogue Essay
While Omega is often associated with their iconic “Speedmaster” line, the firm also created extraordinary gentlemen’s dress watches with elegant styling, including on rare occasion, exquisite gem-set models.
The present watch is in excellent overall condition, with a very unusual dial configuration of diamonds, onyx and malachite. The bracelet shows hardly any signs of wear, as does the case.
Presented with the original presentation box, papers, this watch comes as part of a set further accompanied by a matching ring and pair of cufflinks. The ring and cufflinks enhance the timepiece by adding a sophisticated, yet trendy touch.

Swiss | 1848Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
