Engine Under the Hood: Caliber 267
The Omega Caliber 267 is part of the legendary 30mm series of movements. These movements are prized by collectors for their robust construction, large size (for improved stability), and exceptional reliability. As a non-date, manual-wind caliber, it embodies the elegance of minimalist mid-century horology.

Design & Heritage

• Classic Proportions: The 34mm diameter is the quintessential size for a vintage dress watch, providing an understated and elegant fit.
• Cross-Hair Dial: The thin vertical and horizontal lines crossing the dial add an extra layer of precision and symmetry, a popular feature in the 1950s.
• Pure Simplicity: Lacking a date function or any excessive branding, this piece is a testament to the clean, functional design that defined the era.

This is a beautifully honest and historically important vintage Omega, perfect for a collector or as a sophisticated dress watch.
