Here is a scarce Omega vintage watch. This particular watch is a Swedish market World War 2 military-style watch referred to as a cigarette watch. Swedish soldiers used to trade their Suveran watch for cigarette packs, which they got the name "cigarette watch." Suveran is also mainly made for Swedish citizens to support their government financially. Of course, only a limited quantity of the Suveran exists in today's market, most of which are with refinished dials or in deplorable condition. This one retains its original factory finish with the "Bullseye" variation. The watch will come with a brand-new crystal—original metal case back gasket. Professionally serviced rare 30T2 manual wind movement. The movement serial number is 9969234, dating this watch to 1943. The solid stainless steel unpolished case is original and measures 35.2mm across, excluding the crown by 42.3mm lug to lug. The case model is 2400-1. This watch is ready for daily wearing and will come fitted with a new 18mm vintage-style handmade genuine leather strap. The wrist size in the photo measures 6 inches.
