Omega Tank Américaine – Vintage Swiss Mechanical Watch
A refined Art Deco–inspired timepiece with timeless elegance
This vintage Omega Tank Américaine represents a beautiful chapter in Omega’s long tradition of elegant rectangular watches. Designed during an era when sophistication and proportion mattered more than size, this model offers a refined presence on the wrist, perfectly balanced even by modern standards.
Housed in a gold-plated rectangular case measuring 35 x 25 mm, this watch was considered a true men’s size for its time and still wears with confidence today. The proportions are harmonious, emphasizing elegance rather than excess. The case shows gentle patina and light signs of wear consistent with age, adding character and authenticity.
The original deep blue dial is the highlight of this piece. Its rich tone contrasts beautifully with the applied gold-tone hour markers and slim hands, creating a refined and understated aesthetic. The minimalist layout—displaying only hours and minutes—reflects the pure design language of classic dress watches. The Omega signature and “De Ville” styling elements underline its heritage and exclusivity.
Powering the watch is a Swiss mechanical Omega movement, a testament to the brand’s legendary reliability and craftsmanship. The watch is fitted with a mineral crystal and has not been tested for water resistance, as expected for a vintage mechanical timepiece.
It comes on a custom leather strap that fits wrists up to 22 cm, paired with an original Omega gold-tone buckle, an important detail for collectors. The watch is accompanied by its original Omega box, preserved but showing noticeable wear due to age.

Story & Heritage
Omega’s rectangular watches emerged as a refined alternative to traditional round cases, inspired by the Art Deco movement and the architectural elegance of early 20th-century design. The Tank-style models were favored by professionals, artists, and gentlemen who valued discretion and taste over display.
This Omega Tank Américaine embodies that philosophy—an understated luxury piece that transitions effortlessly from formal attire to modern everyday wear. Its clean lines, mechanical heart, and original details make it not only a collectible vintage watch, but also a sophisticated companion for today’s refined wearer.
