BRAND HISTORY

Omega 2896 Jumbo Sub Second “Arrow” – 18k Rose Gold, 1956

This Omega Ref. 2896 from 1956 is a striking example of the brand’s mid-century elegance, defined by clean geometry, refined details, and beautifully balanced proportions. The oversized 36 mm 18k rose gold case — large for its era — gives the watch a confident yet understated presence on the wrist.

The untouched silver dial is all about purity and precision, highlighted by its sharp arrow hour markers, a rare and visually captivating design that instantly draws the eye. Paired with the slim sub-seconds at six and the original rose-toned handset, the layout feels both timeless and distinctively Omega.

Inside beats the reliable Caliber 267, part of the celebrated 30mm family, known for its durability and chronometric stability. With its crisp case lines and warm rose-gold glow, this example stands out as an exceptionally preserved dress Omega from the 1950s.

Omega

Few watchmakers have a résumé as storied — or as proudly worn — as Omega. Since 1848, the maison has been at the center of history, science, sport, and style. From lunar landings to Olympic games, from deep-sea dives to Bond films, Omega watches have accompanied the bold and the brilliant every step of the way.

But beyond the headlines lies something more intimate: a legacy of precision, purpose, and unmistakable design that makes Omega vintage watches some of the most collectible and meaningful timepieces ever made.

For collectors, few moments are as defining as 1969 — when the Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the Moon. But long before that, Omega was pushing boundaries: anti-magnetic cases in the 1950s Railmaster, the revolutionary dive-ready Seamaster 300, the effortlessly elegant Constellation, and the space-age Dynamic. Each one tells a story — of innovation, of function, of fearless design.

Omega vintage watches are where tool-watch utility meets mid-century beauty. Clean dials. Twisted lugs. Pie-pan textures. Lume-aged hands that glow with nostalgia. They’re not just instruments — they’re artifacts of a century in motion.

To wear an Omega is to wear a piece of collective memory. It’s for the collector who values performance, but also emotion. Someone who connects with history not just through words, but through the tick of a movement that once timed a mission, lit up a ballroom, or accompanied a dive into the unknown.

Omega doesn’t need embellishment. It’s trusted. Proven. Loved.

Because true greatness doesn’t announce itself — it leaves a legacy. And when that legacy is preserved in a finely aged case, beating with life decades later, it becomes something more:

A vintage watch that reminds you of where we’ve been — and dares you to keep going.
