This is a late-1950s Omega Genève automatic in stainless steel, reference 2981 2, a classic dress configuration with sub-seconds and sharply faceted applied markers. The dial design is a strong period cue: dauphine hands, faceted triangular markers, and the crosshair layout commonly seen on Genève and contemporary Omega dress references. The photos show honest aging on the dial surface rather than a “like-new” refinish look. Caliber 491 is part of Omega’s early rotor-automatic generation, following the brand’s bumper era and preceding the later 55x family that dominates early-1960s Genève production. In practical terms, these movements are known for straightforward servicing and stable everyday wear when properly maintained. Case reference 2981 appears across multiple metal executions (including gold and plated variants), so the stainless steel example is appealing as a durable, wearable format while still keeping the slim, mid-century dress proportions. Given the stated service date of 27-02-2026, it should be treated as freshly serviced on paper; for collector records.
