Which sadly I missed, as I was too long telling the seller that I wanted to get it...

Each time I see this photo, I damn myself not having been faster.

This watch has everything I like: A great dial with a lot of character, these olive pushers, the delicious crown and a legendary movement, the ancestor of the Cal 321.

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The distinctive pushers on the Omega CK 2393, often colloquially referred to as 'olive' pushers, are more accurately described by the term 'ogive'. This architectural term refers to a pointed, arch-like shape, which precisely matches their cross-section.
The discussion around the 'olive' versus 'ogive' terminology for the pushers highlights the precision required in describing vintage watch features and the evolution of collector vocabulary.

. . . originally used to describe these pushers: 'ogive'. Yes, they look like the cross-section of an olive pit, but dubious as to whether that's the actual origin.
