. . . is precisely what's gracing your wrist, namely art deco tanks.  I've one now, a relatively small . . .




. . . ref 3697, and a slightly more interesting one . . .




. . . on deposit, with delivery a few months from now. 

Not many appreciate their æsthetics, but for those of us that do, their charms are inescapable. 

Glad to see you're wearing yours today!

. . . a former moderator of our Omega forum, Bill Sohne. I'm pretty sure that when he found this French jewel, he had me in mind as its future custodian. ;-)

I would like to see a re-issue of that model, it' would be a nice alternative for people looking for an elegant squared watch. Same dial, blued hands, manual winding movement, and a bit larger to meet today's standards. Thanks for sharing. Vte
