This Omega Ref. 2613-1 from 1944 is a wonderfully preserved example of war-era Omega design and craftsmanship. Powered by the manual-wind Calibre 266, part of Omega’s renowned 30mm family of movements, this watch combines technical reliability with timeless understated beauty.

The original dial has developed a rich tropical patina over the last 80 years, creating a depth of character that only true vintage pieces can possess. The layout — featuring Arabic numerals, baton markers, and a railtrack minute scale — captures the elegant yet functional design language of 1940s Omega watches.

The 34mm stainless steel case sits comfortably on the wrist, while the warm tones of the tropical dial pair perfectly with the tan Epsom leather strap, giving this piece a refined yet lived-in charm.
