Omega Vintage Gents' Manual-Wind 2391-6

Offered here is an early 1940s Omega 30T2, reference 2391 - 6 with centre seconds configuration.

Although the watch carries no military markings or inscriptions, it is believed to have been used during WWII combat. This may explain the presence of the military leather strap fitted with an EK-pattern Omega buckle, a type of buckle that, according to our research, was generally associated with military-issued watches. Information on these early Omega buckles is scarce, which makes this particular combination especially interesting to collectors.

The watch itself is in good overall condition, with a 33 mm stainless-steel case, original silver dial with Arabic numerals and original leaf-shaped hands. The crown is unbranded, although it may well be original to the watch.

The Omega 30T2 SCPC manual-winding movement is in good working order.

Important note about the buckle
