Produced during the 1940s, it embodies everything that made the manufacture one of Switzerland's great watchmakers: beautifully balanced proportions, exceptional movement quality, and dials that continue to captivate collectors decades later. Examples fitted with original \"mirror\" dials are among the most desirable of the breed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis Reference 2489 is one of those watches. Housed in a generously sized 36mm stainless steel case—a substantial presence for its era—it pairs a broad polished bezel with elegant flowing lugs that give the watch a distinctly modern stance on the wrist. The true centerpiece, however, is its remarkably preserved mirror-finished dial. Unlike a traditional matte or brushed surface, the highly polished finish catches and reflects the light in constantly changing ways, lending extraordinary depth to an otherwise minimalist design. Applied dot and teardrop markers, an oversized \"12,\" and a recessed subsidiary seconds register complete one of Omega's most elegant dial layouts of the period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePowering the watch is Omega's legendary manually wound Calibre 30T2, one of the finest time-only movements of the twentieth century. Celebrated for its robustness, precision, and refined architecture, the 30T2 became the foundation for an entire family of movements that helped cement Omega's reputation for technical excellence throughout the postwar era.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than a leather strap, this example is paired with a period-style stainless steel beads-of-rice bracelet, whose intricate construction complements the watch's refined mid-century character while adding a welcome degree of versatility. The combination feels every bit as natural today as it would have during the watch's early years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCollectors often focus on Omega's legendary sports watches, but references like the 2489 reveal another side of the manufacture's history. Elegant without feeling formal, mechanically exceptional, and increasingly difficult to source with an original mirror dial, this is exactly the sort of vintage Omega that rewards a closer look—and one that continues to gain appreciation among knowledgeable collectors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44082774769751,"sku":"40960380","price":4950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/files\/AS12420_40960380_OMEGA_STEELMIRRORDIAL_24892-5.jpg?v=1785761240","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/omega-mirror-calatrava-jumbo-dress-watch-as12420","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
