This graphic style, which appeared on dress watches in the 1930s and 1940s, is now sought after by collectors for its contrast and relative rarity compared with the plain dials of the same period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the dial patina original?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The dial is original and its patina developed naturally over nearly eight decades: the silvered center has taken on a frosted appearance while the black ring has retained its depth, and the luminous material on the numerals and hands has acquired its cream tone. The whole is fully visible in our photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Omega calibre 30T2?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt is a hand-wound mechanical movement belonging to the 30mm caliber family, launched by Omega in 1939. This family built the house's reputation for precision and ranks among the most respected movements in its production. Its simple and robust construction still makes it easy to service today, with parts remaining widely available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should this watch be cared for on a daily basis?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA soft, dry cloth is sufficient for the steel case. The Crystal acrylic crystal marks more easily than a Crystal sapphire crystal, but its scratches can be polished out easily by a watchmaker. As water resistance is not guaranteed, any contact with water should be avoided. For hand-winding, a daily action, preferably at a fixed time, ensures regular timekeeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this piece suitable for a slim or larger wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a 33.4mm diameter, 40mm Lug-to-lug, and 10mm thickness, it suits wrists of approximately 15 to 18cm. Its format places it in the classic dress watch category, wearable equally by a man or a woman. The 18mm Lug width makes it easy to change the strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51218831606097,"sku":"5371 11151763","price":1564.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_07396_397d195e-2345-4934-bb0f-5bfd0e719a4f.jpg?v=1789068225","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-omega-30t2-watch-steel-tuxedo-dial-1947","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
