Why This Watch Matters

Here at HODINKEE we love a good dress watch – especially when it comes in steel with subsidiary seconds. This Omega checks all the boxes with its beautiful dial and 38mm oversized steel case, making it a pretty great timepiece.

The Full Story

This isn’t the first Omega steel dress watch that we have fallen in love with, and it certainly won’t be the last. This example features a 38mm steel case with down-turned lugs. The watch is made even more attractive by a gorgeous dial with Arabic numerals, subsidiary seconds, and bright blue handset. This example is powered by the well-known manual-winding Omega 30T2. If this isn’t the ultimate dress watch, we don’t know what is.

What we Love and What You Should Know

This beautiful watch is in great condition. The case is full with the bevels on the lugs still visible. There are some light scratches on the caseback, but this is to be expected with a watch this age. The stunning dial is well-proportioned and easy to read. The lume on the numerals and the handset both show some wear, however it does not affect the overall appeal of the watch.
