Description from the seller

Omega Cal. 30T2 – Ref. 2390/5 – Manual Wind – 1942

*** The watch will be shipped from Europe via FedEx, UPS, or DHL.

Vintage Swiss Watch with Professionally Restored Dial

Offered for sale is a vintage Omega De Ville wristwatch featuring the legendary Omega Calibre 30T2 manual-wind movement, reference 2390/5, with movement serial number 9,347,403, dating the watch to circa 1942.

This model represents one of Omega’s most respected early in-house calibres, renowned for its robustness, accuracy, and long-term serviceability. The watch is presented in very attractive condition for its age, with sharp case lines, good polishing quality, and a visually elegant presence on the wrist.



Dial & Hands
• Dial: Professionally restored and refinished
• Dial color: Silver / champagne tone with fine radial brushing
• Hour markers: Applied Arabic numerals at 12, 3, and 9, combined with applied baton indices
• Sub-seconds: Original design small seconds at 6 o’clock
• Dial text visible:
• “OMEGA”
• Applied Omega logo
• “Swiss Made” (at the bottom, partially visible depending on angle)

The dial has been professionally repainted to a high standard. Minor age-related imperfections or hairlines may be present and should be carefully reviewed in the photos. Overall, the dial is clean, balanced, and very attractive, fully in line with vintage standards.

Hands appear period-correct and show natural aging consistent with the watch’s history.



Case & Caseback
• Case material: Stainless steel
• Case shape: Classic round case with elegant, curved lugs
• Case condition: Well preserved with good polishing, sharp transitions, and visible vintage character
• Caseback markings (inside):
• Omega Watch Co (triangle logo)
• “FAB. SUISSE”
• “SWISS MADE”
• “ACIER INOXYDABLE”
• Reference: 2390 / 5

The case shows honest wear consistent with age but remains visually strong and well-defined. No excessive material loss is visible.



Movement
• Calibre: Omega 30T2
• Type: Manual-wind mechanical movement
• Jewels: 15 jewels
• Serial number: 9,347,403
• Origin: Swiss Made

The Omega 30T2 is widely regarded as one of the most important and reliable hand-wound movements ever produced by Omega, forming the foundation of many later calibres.

The movement is clean, complete, and runs well.
Timekeeping performance is very good for a vintage watch, though, as with all vintage timepieces, absolute precision should not be compared to modern standards.



Strap & Buckle
• Strap: Aftermarket genuine leather strap
• Color: Brown crocodile-style pattern
• Buckle: Aftermarket (Omega)

The strap and buckle are not original but are well matched to the watch and ready to wear.



Dimensions
• Case diameter: Approx. 33–34 mm (excluding crown), typical for the era
• Lug width: Standard vintage proportion
(Exact measurements can be visually verified in the provided photos.)



Condition Summary
• Dial: Restored / refinished
• Case: Very good vintage condition, well polished
• Movement: Original Omega Cal. 30T2, running well
• Strap & buckle: Aftermarket
• Water resistance: Not guaranteed

This watch has survived over 80 years and remains visually striking and mechanically impressive. Minor age-related marks may be present and are part of the charm of a true vintage timepiece.



Important Notes
• This is a vintage watch. Please handle and use it accordingly.
• No water resistance guarantee is provided.
• Customs duties, import taxes, VAT, or any local fees are entirely the buyer’s responsibility.
• The watch will be shipped via FedEx, UPS, or DHL with fast and secure delivery.
• Photos and a video of the watch will be taken before packaging for full transparency.
• Please examine all photos carefully as they form an integral part of the description.



A abeautiful opportunity to acquire a historically significant Omega powered by the iconic 30T2 calibre, combining classic 1940s elegance with reliable Swiss engineering.

Seller's Story

Hello, I’m Barış. My journey with watches began in childhood, sparked by the curiosity I felt when I saw my father’s old mechanical timepieces. Over the years, this passion grew from collecting into a profession—buying and selling vintage watches. Today on Catawiki, I specialize in bringing rare, unique, and character-rich models from respected brands such as Seiko, Omega, Longines, Zenith, and Tissot to discerning buyers. Every watch carries a story from the past, and I take great care to ensure these stories are preserved and passed on to their new owners. In each of my listings, I describe the watch’s technical details and aesthetic condition in full transparency. High-resolution, multi-angle photographs clearly display the piece, and any restored or replaced parts are always disclosed. Before shipping, each watch undergoes a timegrapher test, functional inspection, and careful packaging to ensure it reaches you safely. For me, selling watches is more than just a business—it’s about building trust and sharing a passion. Meeting watch enthusiasts from all over the world is the most rewarding part of this journey. I look forward to helping you add a special piece to your collection one day.
