ITEM-2605
Product Details
This exceptional Omega reference 2242 wristwatch, dating to circa 1944, is powered by the highly regarded Caliber 30T2-SC manual wind movement, one of Omega’s most celebrated and reliable vintage movements. Known for its precision and durability, the 30T2 series remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of fine Swiss watchmaking.
What
makes this example particularly desirable is its original black dial, a
