Offered in this auction by Second Vintage This is a quintessential example of mid-century Swiss watchmaking, featuring the highly regarded Omega Caliber 283.

Brand: Omega Model: Manual Wind Reference Number: 2760-10 SC Serial Number: 14540713 Movement: Manual winding Caliber 283 Dial: Cream with applied gold-tone indices and numerals Case Size: 34 mm (excluding the crown) Case Material: Stainless Steel Production Year: 1954 Condition: Excellent vintage condition, featuring a remarkably clean dial and honest wear to the case, indicating a well-preserved history. Dial and Hands The watch features a beautiful cream-toned dial that has been exceptionally preserved, showing very little signs of aging. It is adorned with applied gold-tone Arabic numerals at the even hours and arrowhead markers at the odd hours, creating a balanced and legible layout. The gold-tone dauphine hands add a touch of elegance, though they display visible oxidation and patina consistent with their age. A central seconds hand sweeps smoothly around the dial, which is signed with the applied Omega logo and "Swiss Made" at the bottom. Case and Crystal The stainless steel case measures 34mm and retains its classic round shape with gently curved lugs. The surfaces show normal signs of vintage wear, including light scratches and scuffs, particularly on the caseback, but the case remains thick and well-defined. The crown is signed with the Omega emblem. The crystal is clear and presents well, offering an unobstructed view of the dial. The screw-down caseback is stamped "Acier Inoxydable" on the interior. Movement Powered by the renowned Omega Caliber 283, this manual winding movement features 17 jewels and the signature copper-colored plating. The movement is clean and visually attractive. A timegrapher test indicates a rate of approximately -23 to -30 seconds per day, which indicates healthy movement operation running within vintage tolerances. Strap The watch is fitted with a black leather strap featuring a reptile grain texture and white contrast stitching. It is secured by a silver-tone pin buckle and complements the steel case perfectly, ready for immediate wear. Condition This piece is in excellent vintage condition. The highlight is the dial, which remains bright and clean, while the hands show honest aging. The case shows expected wear for a 70-year-old timepiece but maintains its structural integrity. The movement is functioning reliably. Dimensions The case measures 34 mm in diameter excluding the winding crown. The lug-to-lug length ensures a comfortable fit on a variety of wrist sizes, typical of the classic proportions of the 1950s. Remarks The Reference 2760 is powered by the Caliber 283, a direct descendant of the legendary 30T2 movement that secured Omega's reputation for precision in observatory trials. The "SC" in the reference number stands for "Seconde Centrale," denoting the central seconds hand configuration. This specific example stands out due to the high quality of the dial preservation. History Omega introduced the 30mm movement family in the late 1930s, and it became a cornerstone of their production for nearly a quarter-century. These movements were celebrated for their simplicity, ease of service, and outstanding chronometric performance. By 1954, when this watch was produced, Omega had firmly established itself as a leader in Swiss luxury watchmaking, producing timepieces that were both elegant and technically superior. / Second Vintage SKU: OME14V5IQC000
