This 1943 Omega Field Watch is a quintessential example of Omega’s wartime produced during WWII. It was built for durability and precision, with 17 jewels and a simple but serviceable architecture that became the backbone of Omega’s reputation for reliability.
The honey-toned dial has developed a warm, even patina, lending unique character that only decades of honest wear can achieve. Its subsidiary seconds at 6 o’clock and finely printed sector-style minute track offer a functional military aesthetic. The case, marked Staybrite stainless steel Ref. 9990306, was Omega’s durable steel alloy of the era, ensuring resilience in harsh conditions.
This watch not only represents Omega’s engineering excellence during the 1940s but also carries the unmistakable charm of a true vintage field watch—steeped in wartime history, powered by one of Omega’s finest movements, and now preserved as a collector’s treasure.
