This Omega Seamaster Ref. 2996-1 dates to around 1960, a period when Omega refined functional, elegant sports watches for everyday wear. Its proportions and design language reflect mid-century restraint: clean lines, purposeful dial layout, and a case built to balance presence with comfort. Power comes from a Cal. 285 from the 30T2 family, a manually wound movement known within Omega tradition for straightforward construction and dependable performance. For the modern collector, this watch offers historical character and mechanical clarity, a tangible example of classic watchmaking that complements contemporary collections.
