This Omega Ref. 13322 from 1944 is a beautiful example of the understated elegance that defined mid-century dress watches. Often referred to by collectors as “Calatrava style” due to its balanced proportions and minimalist aesthetic, this watch perfectly captures the refined design language of the 1940s.
The watch is housed in a 34mm 9K gold case produced by Dennison, the famed English case maker responsible for manufacturing many Omega cases destined for the British market during this era. Dennison cases are highly regarded today for their quality construction and distinctive hallmarks, representing an important chapter in Omega’s international history.
The dial is particularly attractive. An original silver surface featuring small Roman numerals, a classic chapter ring and a sub seconds register at six o’clock. The blued syringe hands provide the perfect contrast against the dial, adding both colour and elegance while reinforcing the watch’s vintage character.
Inside beats the legendary Omega calibre 30T2 manual wind movement. The 30T2 family is widely considered one of the most respected hand wound movements ever produced by Omega. Known for its durability, accuracy and beautiful engineering, it formed the backbone of Omega’s reputation for precision during the 1930s and 1940s.
At 34mm, the watch wears remarkably well today. The proportions remain elegant yet substantial enough for modern wrists, making it both a collector’s piece and a wearable vintage dress watch.
