Heritage Narrative
In the mid‑1950s Omega mastered the balance between engineering and elegance. Reference 2709 epitomizes that era with its sculpted 18 kt rose‑gold case, slender profile, and the bumper‑winding Calibre 354—celebrated for its durability and smooth automatic action. Movement no. 14 171 750 and inner‑case no. 11351150 place this example around 1954, when Omega serials crossed the 14‑million threshold. Its black “honeycomb” dial—original and unrestored—features gilt Arabic numerals and dagger indices that glow warmly against the textured backdrop. A small‑seconds register at 6 o’clock completes the clean, mid‑century aesthetic, making this piece a refined companion for modern dress wear while honouring Omega’s golden‑age design language.
