It features a classic 34 mm gold-plated case with gently curved lugs and a clean dial layout. But what makes this particular example stand out is its exceptional tropical patina, developed over nearly seven decades into a rich, leopard-like gradient that collectors dream about.

The golden sunburst base of the dial has transformed into a warm, spotted honey tone, giving this piece a unique texture and depth under different lighting. Combined with its original alpha hands, applied indices, and domed acrylic crystal, this watch is a textbook example of honest, character-driven vintage charm.

Good vintage condition with light signs of use, preserving original geometry
Gold-plated case with stainless steel snap-on case back
34 mm width (without crown) / 42 mm lug-to-lug / 18 mm between lugs / 10.5 mm thick
Ref. 2846 - 2 SC, clearly engraved inside the case back
Year of production: 1954
Case back properly signed with Omega logo, “FAB. SUISSE,” and patent markings
Sharp lugs and crisp case lines remain intact

DIAL:
Original, never retouched champagne-gold dial
Beautifully developed leopard-like patina, giving it an almost organic texture
Original “Omega Automatic” and “Seamaster” scripts still intact and clear
Overall, a striking dial that tells a story of age, light, and honest oxidation
