Omega - 1958 Calatrava 2888/2864-10SC

WHAT WE LOVE:

This Omega 2888/2864-10SC is a clean, honest example of classic Omega watchmaking. Where a lot of this era of Omega developed tropical or two-tone patinas, the silver dial offers the cleaner alternative — a bright, legible surface that pairs the applied baton hour markers and dauphine hands with a composition that has never gone out of style. The all-steel one-piece case, with its long, sculpted lugs, gives the watch a presence on the wrist that exceeds its compact 35mm diameter — a hallmark of Omega's case design philosophy.

The signed Omega crown and the dual case reference numbering on the back (2888 for the sub-seconds variant, 2864 for the sweep-seconds SC configuration that this example carries) are period-correct details.

WHAT'S INSIDE:

This Omega is powered by the Calibre 501 — a 20-jewel automatic movement that was, in 1958, at the forefront of Omega's automatic movement design. The Calibre 501 became one of the most consistently reliable workhorse movements Omega produced during this era, prized then and now for its smooth performance and long-term durability. Sixty-eight years later, properly maintained examples continue to perform within close tolerance of their original specification. Serviced 2026.
