Specialist note

According to the Archives of Omega, the present watch was manufactured on 19th December 1952 and delivered to Italy.
Excellently preserved, the present watch, an early example of the Automatic Seamaster Calendar, immediately attracts due to the fabulous untouched honeycomb dial still retaining the original luminous accents to each dart index, the superb crisp and sharp pink gold case with clear hallmark.
The Omega Seamaster Calendar was introduced in 1952 as reference 2627, the first Omega watch with a date window. The very first examples such as the present watch had a rectangular date window, but from 1953 the model was redesigned with a trapezoidal date window.
