Omega 4831.32.31 Japanese Version Reference Guide

Key Points from the Discussion

• The Omega 4831.32.31, a 21st-century De Ville 'pie-pan' without a calendar function, was previously unknown to some seasoned Omega collectors, who assumed all modern pie-pans included a date complication.
• This specific reference is powered by the Omega Caliber 2403 movement, which was also utilized in Railmaster models from the same era.
• The 4831.32.31 is likely a limited edition produced specifically for the Japanese market, a common practice for Omega during that period.
• The reference number 4831.31.32, which appears on the Omega website as Stainless Steel, suggests that the '8' in the second digit of the reference schema might indicate stainless steel, though the full schema for precious metals remains unclear.
• The smaller size of the 4831.32.31 is preferred by some collectors over the larger original De Ville models, and there is a question whether an 'armadillo' bracelet was originally offered with this watch.
