Omega Two Tone, Ref. 2791-4, Cal. 266, Men’s Dress Vintage Watch, 1955

The sector dial of Omega Two Tone reference 2791-4 contrasts a light silver-beige centre with a deep black outer track. Gold-tone markers and numerals at 12, 3 and 9 surround recessed small seconds at 6. The men's 1955 dress watch uses hand-wound caliber 266 in a polished 36 mm steel case, with long tapered lugs and a replacement black leather strap.

Two-tone sector dial and gold dauphine hands

The light centre contrasts with the deep black outer track. Applied gold-tone hour markers and Arabic numerals at 12, 3 and 9 define the main scale. The recessed small-seconds register at 6 has a finely textured concentric pattern.

Polished gold dauphine hour and minute hands have sharp angled forms. The gold small-seconds hand repeats the tone of the markers within the subsidiary display.

Broad steel proportions and long tapered lugs

The stainless steel case is polished, with clean lines and long, tapered lugs. At 36 mm, it has comparatively broad proportions for a dress watch from the 1950s while retaining a restrained profile. The lug width is 18 mm.

The unsigned stainless steel crown is period appropriate, easy to grip for daily winding and in excellent condition.

The fitted black leather strap is an aftermarket replacement, rather than the original Omega strap. Its dark finish complements the outer dial track while preserving the head's two-tone contrast.

Caliber 266 from the 30T2 family

The manual-wind watch uses Swiss-made Omega 266, part of the 30T2 movement family. Its nominal beat rate is 18,000 vibrations per hour. Manual winding powers the time display and small seconds.

Omega's 1950s dress designs used two-tone dials alongside balanced case forms. Reference 2791-4 brings that visual contrast into its light centre, black perimeter, gilt furniture and polished steel head.

This used watch is fully serviced and in excellent working order, retaining its original dial, hands, case and movement with the replacement strap fitted. It is fully operational and comes with a 12-month warranty. Worldwide shipping is available.
