Omega Vintage Seamaster Automatic Calendar – Ref. 2627 – 18k Rose Gold – Honeycomb Radium Dial – 1950 – Rare

We are pleased to offer this exceptional Omega Vintage Seamaster Automatic Calendar, Reference 2627—a rare and highly desirable early Seamaster distinguished by its exquisite dial configuration and precious-metal case. Dating to circa 1950, this example represents a superb expression of Omega’s post-war watchmaking and is increasingly sought after by discerning vintage collectors.

Crafted in 18k rose gold, the elegantly proportioned case showcases classic mid-century design, combining refined lines with warm precious-metal tones that have aged beautifully over time. The case retains strong definition, underscoring the quality of Omega’s gold case production during this important era. The crew-back case has got a beautiful, noble engraving showing a crown with five edges and a capital B.

The standout feature of this watch is its stunning honeycomb-textured dial, preserved with original radium luminous material. The applied Arabic numerals at 3, 9, and 12, paired with faceted hour markers and dauphine hands, create a highly balanced and visually compelling layout. The automatic calendar aperture adds practical functionality while maintaining the dial’s harmonious symmetry—an increasingly rare configuration to find in such attractive condition.

Powering the watch is Omega’s early automatic calendar movement cal.353 , a testament to the brand’s technical innovation at the dawn of automatic wristwatch production. Renowned for its reliability and smooth operation, the movement reflects Omega’s leadership in precision watchmaking during the mid-20th century.

Paired with a modern leather strap, the watch retains its elegant, period-correct character while remaining highly wearable by modern standards.
