History & Significance
King Saud bin Abdul Aziz, son of Abdulaziz ibn Abdul Rahman (the founder of Saudi Arabia), ascended to the throne in 1953. During his reign, it was customary for Middle Eastern royals to present watches as symbols of friendship and appreciation. King Saud had Omega produce dials with his portrait prominently placed above the brand’s signature at 12 o’clock, a reversal of typical logo-and-crest placement.
This example belongs to Omega’s Seamaster line, one of the most beloved collections since its introduction in 1948. The Ref. 2846, powered by the reliable automatic caliber 501, reflects Omega’s post-war dedication to combining functionality with elegance. Unique features such as Arabic numeral quarters, arrow markers, and alpha hands add further character, making this watch a highly collectible piece of both horological and cultural significance.
Writer’s Thoughts
Few watches carry such a direct link between Swiss craftsmanship and Middle Eastern royal heritage. The King Saud dial transforms this Seamaster into something far beyond a wristwatch—it is an artifact of political history, diplomacy, and cultural exchange. The detail of the portrait, combined with the classic Seamaster proportions, makes it a striking and conversation-worthy piece.
Our Promise
Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. This Omega Seamaster Ref. 2846 with King Saud portrait dial is presented in honest condition, representing a rare intersection of Omega history and royal provenance.
