This is a stunning timepiece! A vintage Omega automatic wristwatch dated from 1949. The reference is 2398-3, self winding watch, bumper movement caliber 332, 17 jewels, sub-second hand, Swiss made. Unusual and desirable stainless steel case and fancy lugs; it is 35mm diameter (without crown) round face.

Vintage watches are traditionally smaller than today's watches. Men's watches typically measure between 29-36mm (some larger, some smaller) wide excluding the crown. In the listing details we typically try to do our best to list all pertinent dimensions of a watch. If you don't see it, or we failed to do so, please reach out to us. Women's watches from the 1900s-1970s were also much smaller than todays offerings. Please also feel free to ask any questions you have pertaining to size.
We prefer to shoot photographs outside when weather is permitting. However, when we shoot indoors, please be aware that we shoot our photographs inside of lightboxes that are lit with 360 LED bulbs. This indeed magnifies any flaws. Usually, they are much less obvious to the naked eye. Having said that, we never photoshop any of our photography, remove blemishes, etc. We adjust light when necessary, but what you see is what you are getting, and we take pride in that.
The condition is pre-owned. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. See all the photos, feel free to ask questions if you have any.
It will be carefully packed.
