1959 Omega Seamaster Calendar 34mm 'Crème Brûlée' 2849
Here we have a 1959 Omega Seamaster Calendar 'Crème Brûlée' 2849 with a 34mm stainless steel case that curves over your wrist with thick lugs; its smooth flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 41.5mm and a case thickness of 12mm to ensure a comfortable fit on the wrist. On the right side is a signed coin-edged crown. The smooth bezel holds a domed crystal protecting a cream dial with an even patina pattern, resembling the crisp top of a delicious 'Crème Brûlée' dessert, hence the name, and an outer minute track surrounds applied steel facet dagger indexes marking the hours, that magically reflect the light as you rotate your wrist and, at 3 o’clock, a framed date window. Elegant steel Dauphine hands are complemented by a tapered centre seconds hand. Text is kept to a minimum with an applied Omega motif “Omega Automatic” at noon and “Seamaster Calendar” at 6 o’clock. On the reverse, we have a case back with an engraving and an embossed Hippocampus “Seamaster” in the centre, representing Neptune, the God of the sea; Pierre Borie conceived it after seeing a picture of Neptune riding a chariot pulled by seahorses; it is the reason why the seahorses are wearing a bridle, there is also an engraving on the case back. Inside is an automatic Omega Cal. 503, 20 jewels, beating at 19,800 beats per hour. The watch comes paired with a well-suited 18mm leather strap and pin buckle.
