Specialist note

According to the Archives of Montres Omega, the present watch was sold to the US in 1930.

This watch is distinguished by its typical 1930s design, featuring a modern, yet typical Art Deco style case designed to fit around the wrist and the very symmetrical, two-tone silvered dial. With its impressive overall length of 44 mm., it is thought to be one of Omega's longest rectangular wristwatches made to date.
