Dating to the 1970s, this remarkable dual time wristwatch by Omega reflects a decade in which the maison boldly redefined its design language, embracing experimentation, unconventional forms, and refined materials. During this period, Omega stood at the forefront of innovation, not only in precision watchmaking, already cemented through its achievements in chronometry and space exploration, but also in aesthetic research. The 1970s saw the brand move beyond traditional round cases, exploring asymmetry, integrated bracelets, and daring dial compositions. This piece perfectly embodies that creative momentum, where functionality meets sculptural design. Crafted in 18k white gold, the watch features a striking, organically shaped case seamlessly integrated into a finely textured bracelet. Its most remarkable feature lies in the dual dial configuration: two independent displays, each powered by its own movement, allowing for the simultaneous reading of two time zones. The upper dial is carved from lapis lazuli, its deep blue surface enriched by natural golden pyrite inclusions, evoking a celestial landscape. The lower dial, in stark contrast, is executed in polished black onyx, offering a minimalist and highly refined visual counterpoint. Both are adorned with diamond hour markers, subtly enhancing the luxurious character of the watch without compromising its clean, modernist appeal.
