Tdn.dk shares his excitement over acquiring an Omega Suverän, a watch specifically produced and sold in Sweden during WWII when the country remained neutral. His post highlights the unique historical context of these pieces and the thrill of discovering a well-preserved example from an auction.
Hi!
I have searched for a while after an Omega SUVERÄN because I think it's fun to own one of these watches, which are produced and sold to Sweden during WW2, when they were neutral. Today this one arrived.
I have previously purchased an Omega officer.
Both are bought at auctions in Sweden.
I like the black and white/beige dial.
I wonder if there is given a new lumen on the hands along the way, or it is the original lumen.
The movement looks clean. I can see there is written a lot, on the indside of the caseback, i wonder if the watchmaker used some codes or something when they serviced the watch, because the numbers doesnt make sense to me.
Ref. 2400-1
Cal. 30 T2 PC
1944

It looks like it has been in storage for decades - lovely find Cheers Andrew
It was one of these buy's where the seller knows nothing about watches, so it was just described as an old Omega. I could se on the back it was a Suverän. As you can se on the pictures from the add. it could turn out to be a´nice watch or garbage. After some case cleaning and polishing the crystal it looks nice These are the sellers pics. Best Thomas
I really like the dials on these SUVERÄN & Officer models. Now if only I spoke Swedish & could trawl though these auction sites... Thanks for sharing. grumio
Especially the Suveran dial. Congrats and thanks for sharing
One day I hope to see pictures of your entire collection. Best regards, George
Hi Thomas, The dial is a real beauty! And the movement looks very well preserved. You lucky guy! Enjoy Erich
