Vintage Omega, Two-tone dial, Ref. 2319/2, Oversized case, Swiss Made Cal. 30T1 from 1944

Finding an Omega from the 1940s with a large case size is rare. But to come across one with a stunning two-tone dial, minimalist Art Deco numerals, and a beautifully proportioned sub-second layout is even more remarkable.

This oversized beauty features a clean stainless steel case measuring 37 mm across—unusually large for its time—and houses the legendary manually wound Cal. 30T1. The reference number 2319/2 and a serial dating it to 1944 point to Omega's wartime production, known for precision and durability. With its subtle chapter ring and sharply printed numerals, this watch blends elegance with utilitarian design.
