Dating to the 1970s, this remarkable wristwatch by Omega reflects the maison’s adventurous approach to design during a decade of experimentation, when traditional watchmaking was reinterpreted through bold forms, unconventional materials, and highly decorative compositions. Crafted in 18k white gold, the watch features a distinctive rectangular case framing a striking black onyx surround. The dial is divided into four triangular sections arranged around the central hands, with two sections crafted from richly grained natural wood and two sections pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds. The alternating composition creates a captivating geometric effect, balancing the organic character of the wood with the brilliance of the precious stones. The composition is complemented by a finely woven white gold bracelet, whose intricate texture reinforces the watch’s distinctly character. The combination of natural materials, precious stones and bold geometric design makes this an especially unusual example of Omega’s creative production during the period.
