Omega Seamaster 2846-2848 Black Honeycomb Dial ‘Scarab’ Case from 1960

This Omega Seamaster ref. 2846-2848 is a striking example of early 1960s Omega design, defined by its exceptionally rare black honeycomb (or ‘waffle’) dial. The dial surface, with its fine geometric texture, creates beautiful light play and depth, while the applied gold hour markers and applied Omega logo add refinement and contrast.

Housed in a 34 x 44 mm stainless steel case, the watch is powered by the robust automatic cal. 501—one of Omega’s classic mid-century in-house movements. This example comes fitted on its original “Beads of Rice” bracelet, enhancing both comfort and period authenticity.

The watch is accompanied by an original Omega presentation box from the same era, underscoring its collectability. A Seamaster with a true collector’s dial, elegant proportions, and full vintage character.
