Dating to 1958, this Omega Seamaster showcases the brand’s classic, beefy mid-century case design. The reference 2846 is the desirable snap-back variant, housing the robust calibre 501 automatic full-rotor movement. The watch has just been fully serviced and retains its original signed Omega crown.

 

The highlight is the beautifully preserved two-tone honeycomb dial, displaying a rich, warm patina that has aged evenly across the surface—exactly what collectors hope to see. Applied steel dagger hour markers complete the look, lending a sharp, utilitarian elegance. The hands show some light pitting, consistent with age, but remain original and honest.

 

A wonderfully balanced and increasingly hard-to-find Seamaster, particularly with such a clean and even honeycomb dial. A genuinely attractive example that captures the charm and robustness of late-1950s Omega design.
