WHY WE CURATED IT:
Gerald Genta designed the famous Royal Oak and Nautilus, as well as other course-altering gems like this. When Omega sought a clear direction for the 80s, Genta was enlisted. This was a landmark in head-turning design and material innovation, evolving into the “pre-Bond” SMP 200M and beyond. Features an integrated bracelet and 2mm thick 18k gold inlay, so seamlessly fused into the Titanium case it’s sorcery! How Omega did this remains a secret. This is our 5th Polaris, in a sublime 32mm (wears like a 35) ultra-thin. This time, it’s the Titanium + Gold time-date version with quickset hour (perfect for travel). Featuring feather-weight comfort and dark gunmetal Ti look. A characterful sports watch that will make you stand out against the usual crowd. Serviced by Omega Oct 2022, with box and service papers.
