An incredibly rare and historically significant Omega Suverän reference 2400, produced in 1944 and originally made for the Swedish government and military during World War II. This is not just a vintage Omega—it’s a functioning piece of wartime history, designed to support Sweden’s war effort through civilian purchase and limited military issue.
Produced exclusively for Sweden during WWII, these “Suverän” Omegas were sold to the public to raise essential war funds, and some were also issued to Swedish military personnel. The 30T2 movement remains a legendary example of Omega’s robust and precise wartime engineering.
This example features the revered manual-wind Calibre 30T2, a 35mm stainless steel case, and the uniquely inscribed caseback:
“ANTIMAGNETISK, VATTENTÄT, STÖTSKYDDAD” — Swedish for Antimagnetic, Waterproof, Shockproof.
