Omega Ref. 13322/1517 – Tropical Dial – Dennison Case
Here’s a vintage Omega with true soul and character. This Omega Ref. 13322/1517, produced in 1952, features a stunning tropical patina dial that has aged with absolute charm — transforming its original tone into warm hues that collectors dream of. It’s a piece that tells its story every time you glance at your wrist.
The dial itself is rich in vintage detail: applied Omega logo, Arabic numerals, arrowhead markers, and a beautifully balanced small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. But the real showstopper here is the natural tropical patina — the result of decades of exposure, which has given the dial a completely unique, softly mottled character that no modern watch can replicate.
Housed in a 34mm British-made Dennison stainless steel case, this reference also offers a touch of Anglo-Omega history. Dennison cases were crafted in England for Omega in the post-war period, and this one retains its original crisp lines and period proportions, making it both historically significant and highly wearable.
Powered by the Omega Calibre 266 manual wind movement, this watch keeps time with smooth, old-school precision and is paired with a tan leather strap for a warm, earthy finish.
