Omega Medicus Ref. 2543 – Elegance in Steel from 1937

This rare Omega Medicus from 1937 beautifully captures the spirit of the late Art Deco era. Its flawless silver dial, subtle railroad minute track, and striking blued steel Pontife hand create a perfectly balanced and highly elegant design.

Introduced in 1937, the Omega Medicus was Omega’s first wristwatch with a central seconds hand, developed to help medical professionals measure pulse rates more easily. Often referred to as the “nurses’ watch,” it gained particular significance during the Second World War.

Housed in a sharp 30 mm stainless steel case, this watch offers understated charm, historical importance, and timeless vintage appeal — a refined piece for collectors who appreciate both function and elegance.
