1956 Omega Dress Watch (Ref. 2910-2 SC) "Cal. 284"
Omega is one of the most recognizable watch brands in the world, a status that has come thanks in part to names like Seamaster and Speedmaster. But the brand has a history and catalog that stretches far beyond those names, and watches like this ref. 2910-2 SC, utilizing the manual winding Omega caliber 284 movement, are a great example that you don't need one of those mainline names on the dial to have a classic, beautiful, fantastic piece.

CASE & BRACELET
The early and charming stainless steel case features long lugs that taper and feature a subtle chamfer, giving the watch a much larger presence than the advertised case diameter. The case has been previously polished and retains original shape and design throughout. The svelte Omega signed crown is believed to be original to the watch. The snap-on case back is in excellent overall condition, with some light corrosion present. The watch comes supplied on a vintage 2pc black Omega leather strap with a stainless steel Omega tang buckle that remains unworn
DIAL & HANDS
>The simple and understated, yet attractive satin silver dial features a subtle warmth from age and exhibits minimal elements of age throughout. The radium lume plots feature a dark patina, under UV light inspection the 12 o'clock plot is mostly missing while the rest of the lume plots remain intact. The original radium dauphine hands match the dark patina of the dial and show no degradation under UV light.
ACCESSORIES
None. The watch is keeping time, but the service history is unknown. A movement service can be provided upon request
