Omega Dynamic

You can count on one hand the number of compelling, left-of-center watches in Omega's catalog that don't carry the name "Speedmaster" or "Seamaster." Such unicorn-like timepieces have to be distinctly dynamic in order to stand out within the crowded tool-watch market — and indeed, it just so happens that that’s the name that adorns the dial one of the best of these watches. The first Omega 'Dynamic' was created for the Prix de Ville de Genève in 1965 and launched to the public in 1968. Fitted with an elliptical case, it was one of the first watches to be designed with that silhouette and arguably the most comfortable on the wrist. The crown was integrated into the case such that it would not disturb the flow of the design and it was fitted with a removable case ring that would allow the wearer to switch straps easily. (The ring held the back of the strap against the watch almost like a Bund-style strap.) The Dynamic was such a success that more than a million examples were sold.  This particular watch, is a fine example of the Dynamic: Housed in a 41mm stainless steel, oval-shaped monocoque case fitted with a sloping, brushed bezel; an integrated, signed push-pull crown; and a domed acrylic crystal, it features a white sector dial with polished, applied indices; an outer, printed minute track; and a luminous silver and white 'baton' handset with an orange central-seconds hand. Powered by the automatic Omega Calibre 565 movement, it is paired with a stainless steel integrated bracelet. Omega’s catalog is expansive. There are so many variations to their core lines that there's pretty much something for everyone. But if you’re looking for something truly unique, look no further!
