OMEGA Suveran ref.2400-7 cal.30T2PC / 1940s Swedish Government Order

— The 1940s, at the peak of the craft —

A historic Omega carrying a 30mm calibre.

A special watch, delivered to Swedish citizens on a government order.

The "SUVERAN" marking on the caseback speaks for its background.

A watch whose "SUVERAN" marking holds the background of a Swedish government order. Fitted with Cal.30T2PC, the peak of Omega's engineering and its first shock-protected movement in the 30mm calibre family. Logo, minute track and sub-dial drawn finely by the recessed-base technique. An elegant ghost dial, faded mysteriously from black-grey. A fine watch where solid military legibility meets the quiet bearing of vintage.

— Military design, into civilian hands —

Roman indexes and beautifully burnt luminous hands rise from a grey dial.

Military design thinking dissolved into a civilian specification.

The hands are generous and highly legible: function has become form, and the form itself is what starts the story.

— Craft in the base layer —

Logo, minute track, sub-dial — all of it done by the recessed-base technique.

Work reaching right into the details, with a quiet skill alive inside them.

— Precision on the wrist —

The calibre is Cal.30T2PC, with shock protection.

Successor to the Cal.30T2, it was Omega's first movement with shock protection.

Developed against the rules of observatory chronometer competition, it is regarded as one of the high points of Omega's engineering.

— Colour drawn by weathering —

The dial has aged from black-grey into a completely faded ghost dial.

Its expression wavers quietly with the angle of the light.

The indexes have turned a deep brown.

The quiet outline weathering has drawn is something to see for yourself, in the hand.
