Description from the seller
Omega – Ref. 2903-17
Stainless steel · ca. early 1960s
This Omega ref. 2903-17 is a fine example of Omega’s understated elegance from the early 1960s — a period defined by clarity of design, balanced proportions, and mechanical integrity. Free from unnecessary embellishment, this watch reflects the quiet confidence that made Omega such a respected name during this era.
The stainless steel case features soft, rounded lines and slender lugs, creating a timeless and well-proportioned silhouette. With its classic dimensions, the watch sits comfortably on the wrist and feels light and refined — exactly as intended for everyday wear in its time.
The silver-toned dial has developed an soft attractive, even patina over the decades, lending warmth and character. Clear Arabic numerals ensure excellent legibility and give the dial a subtly utilitarian charm. The recessed small-seconds subdial at six o’clock adds depth and visual balance, while the slender hands integrate harmoniously with the overall design.
An honest and unpretentious Omega: elegant, mechanically sound, and carrying its history with quiet assurance. A watch that draws attention not through excess, but through timeless design.
Case
The stainless steel case is defined by rounded contours and slender, gently tapering lugs. The proportions are classic and well balanced, resulting in a highly wearable watch. The case shows light, honest signs of wear consistent with age, enhancing its authentic vintage character.
Dial
The silver-toned dial displays an even, attractively aged patina. Arabic numerals create a calm, highly legible layout, while the small-seconds subdial at six o’clock completes the design with understated elegance. A functional, timeless dial with genuine vintage appeal.
Movement
The watch is powered by the hand-wound Omega calibre 269, part of the highly regarded 30 mm family. Known for its robustness, accuracy, and straightforward construction, this movement is widely considered one of the finest hand-wound calibres Omega ever produced.
