Omega T17 | Sector Dial | Stainless Steel | 1940s
An elegant example of Omega’s rectangular wristwatches from the 1940s, featuring a stainless steel case and a distinctive black sector dial with contrasting gilt printing.
The dial combines an unusual layout of Arabic numerals, a finely graduated inner minute track and a subsidiary seconds register at six o’clock. The gold-toned details against the dark background lend the watch a strong graphic character, while the elongated case and clean lines reflect the restrained design language of the period.
Inside, the watch is powered by Omega’s manual-winding calibre T17, a movement developed specifically for rectangular wristwatches and emblematic of the brand’s technical approach during the pre-war and immediate post-war years.
A distinctive vintage Omega, appreciated for its architectural proportions, mechanical interest and striking sector dial.
