A standout early reference in the Seamaster line, the Omega CK2846 from 1958 captures the bold design language and rugged elegance that made the Seamaster a household name. This example pairs vintage character with rare details, including striking gold coffin-style hour markers – also known as “Eiffel Tower” markers – and the iconic ‘beefy’ lugs that give the case a strong, masculine presence.
The 34.5mm stainless steel case houses the automatic Calibre 501, a movement renowned for its robustness and smooth winding performance. The white dial has aged gracefully, showcasing a harmonious contrast between the gold hour markers and dauphine hands. It’s all framed by a lightly domed acrylic crystal and paired with a tan leather strap to complement its vintage patina.
This watch is accompanied by its original Omega box, guarantee papers, and a personal engraving on the caseback, offering rich provenance. The documents confirm the watch was originally sold in Singapore, adding historical depth to an already exceptional timepiece.
