Here is a truly scarce Omega vintage watch, boasting a rich history tied to World War II. This specific timepiece is a Swedish market military-style watch, commonly known as a cigarette watch. During the war, Swedish soldiers would often trade their Suveran watches for packs of cigarettes, which led to the nickname "cigarette watch." The majority of these watches were initially sold to Swedish citizens to financially support their government during the conflict.
Today, only a limited quantity of these Suveran watches can be found on the market, and many have suffered from refinishing or are in poor condition. However, this particular watch stands out as it retains its factory original finish, showcasing a captivating design with unique hour indexes that truly sets it apart from other timepieces.
This watch comes with a brand-new crystal and retains its original metal case gasket, making it an excellent choice for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Its rare 30T2 manual wind movement has been professionally serviced, ensuring accurate timekeeping and reliability. The movement's serial number, 10426143, dates this remarkable watch back to 1945.
The solid stainless steel case, which has not been polished, remains in its original condition and measures an impressive 35.2mm across (excluding the crown) and 41.5mm from lug tip to lug tip. The case model is 2400-7, a testament to its heritage and craftsmanship.
This Omega watch is not just a collectible; it is also ready for daily wear. It will be fitted with a new 18mm nylon strap over genuine leather, providing both comfort and style. The wrist size in the accompanying photo measures 6 inches, showcasing how elegantly it rests on the wrist. Whether you are a seasoned collector or someone who appreciates vintage timepieces with a story, this Omega watch is sure to make a statement.
