Omega - 1937 Cal 26.5 SOB Mechanical
WHAT WE LOVE:
This 1937 Omega Cal. 26.5 SOB represents the pre-war golden age of Swiss watchmaking — a time when Omega was already refining its identity through elegant, manually wound wristwatches. Housed in a gold plated case, this early example delivers timeless simplicity: a clean, well-proportioned dial with sub-seconds at 6 o’clock, and understated charm across every detail.
At just over 30mm, this piece wears modestly by today’s standards but confidently in its vintage context. With a stepped bezel, sculpted lugs, and no-frills aesthetic, it’s the kind of watch that rewards close inspection and a deep appreciation for mechanical heritage.
WHAT’S INSIDE:
Ticking away inside is the Omega Calibre 26.5 SOB, part of a long-running and reliable series of movements introduced in the late 1920s. The "SOB" variant featured subtle refinements in finishing and architecture and was widely respected for its precision, durability, and hand-finishing. These calibres helped Omega build its foundation as a leader in both chronometry competitions and professional timekeeping.
