Description from the seller
Now available at auction from Second Vintage
A classic mid-century Omega dress watch, this timepiece is characterized by its heavy 80-micron gold-plated case and an attractive, even speckled patina across its light silver and champagne dial. Powered by the clean, manual-wind Omega Caliber 284, it represents a well-preserved standard production model from the 1950s.
Brand: Omega
Reference Number: 2902-1 SC
Serial Number: 15332602
Movement: Manual-wind Omega Caliber 284
Dial: Light silver and champagne dial with a speckled patina
Case Size: 32mm (excluding the crown)
Case Material: Gold-plated
Production Year: c. 1956
Condition: Good vintage condition. Timegrapher: -12-16s/day, performing remarkably well.
Dial and Hands
The light silver and champagne dial displays an attractive, fine, and even speckled vintage patina. The applied gold-tone indices and Omega logo remain intact, while the printed text is crisp and highly legible. The original gold-tone dauphine hands show age-appropriate oxidation and visible spotting on their surfaces, complementing the honest aging of the dial.
Case and Crystal
The heavy 80-micron gold-plated case presents honest vintage wear with preserved geometry. The edges and lugs remain relatively well-defined, showing light overall wear alongside some minor surface scratches visible on the flanks and lugs. The smooth, integrated gold-plated bezel displays light surface scratches consistent with the rest of the case. The gold-tone crown is signed with the Omega logo and shows noticeable tarnish and wear to the plating on its face. The domed acrylic crystal is clear, exhibiting some very fine surface wear consistent with age but no major deep scratches or cracks.
Movement
The watch is powered by the manual-wind Omega Caliber 284, recognized as a reliable workhorse movement from the 1950s. The movement features copper-colored plates and bridges, appearing very clean with no obvious signs of corrosion or damage. The screw heads and gears look well-preserved, and the caliber retains its crisp engravings, including the matching 15332602 serial number. The timegrapher records -12-16s/day. Exhibiting remarkable accuracy and consistency, performing brilliantly for a vintage timepiece.
Strap
The watch is fitted with a black textured leather strap secured by a gold-tone buckle. The strap appears to be in lightly used condition, offering a classic look that beautifully complements the vintage aesthetic of the watch.
Condition
Good vintage condition. Supported by the recorded timegrapher result, the movement is performing very strongly. The watch shows honest, age-appropriate wear across the gold-plated case and bezel, with minor scratches on the flanks and lugs. The dial displays an attractive even patina, the signed crown exhibits noticeable plating wear, and the hands show expected oxidation.
Dimensions
32mm (excluding the crown).
Remarks
This 1950s Omega offers a highly attractive speckled patina and a reliable, clean Caliber 284 movement. The well-preserved heavy gold-plated case geometry and classic dauphine hands make it a charming and honest mid-century dress watch.
History
During the 1950s, Omega produced a wide array of elegant dress watches that became standard bearers for mid-century horological design. Omega movements with serial numbers in the 15,000,000 range date to a production year of 1956. The manual-wind Caliber 284 housed within this reference is recognized by collectors as a reliable workhorse movement from this celebrated era of the brand.
