  • Catalogue Essay

    To collectors and scholars with an interest in precision time keeping, Omega’s calibre 30 T2 SC RG is one of the most beautiful and best made wristwatch movements ever built. Omega’s reference 2367 is enjoying great popularity thanks to it generous dimensions but also timeless design. The present example of Omega celebrated chronometer series has a beautiful silvered two-tone dial and features 12 applied pink gold Arabic numerals. Produced in 1948 its design is so incredibly timeless that one could think that it is from the last 10 or 20 years.The case has hardly seen any polishing and the hallmarks applied on the side of the case and the upper left lug are very deep and very well defined.

  • Artist Biography

    Omega

    Swiss • 1848

    Omega'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.
