Mid-century Omega with 24-hour dial
A mid-century Omega from 1952, this reference 2496-3SC presents a rare full 1–24 hour dial executed with applied arrowhead markers and dauphine hands. The two-tone gold–steel case and period acrylic crystal speak to the restrained elegance of the era. Inside sits the hand-wound cal. 283 from the 30T2 family, a robust 17-jewel movement noted for straightforward serviceability and stable timing. For a contemporary collector, it offers wearable vintage character coupled with a freshly documented service and clear mechanical provenance.
