Specialist note

According to the Archives of Omega the present watch was manufactured in 1948 and delivered to the Swiss market.

This timepiece is a fine example of the rare Omega reference 2381. With its 37 mm. diameter, it fully classifies as oversized for the time, a trait which nowadays is extremely appreciated both because of the rarity of such piece in the vintage panorama, and also because current taste evolved toward larger timepieces. The present watch then wonderfully conjugates the charm and appeal of a rare vintage collectible with the ease of wear and eye-catching quality of modern-sized timepiece.
