For sale is an absolute oddball rarity and a historically significant piece of Omega history: the Omega Ref. CK2015 Medicus, affectionately nicknamed "Fagiolino." Created in the late 1930s, this watch is a fascinating blend of specialized function and unique aesthetics, now available in impeccable condition.
This highly unusual timepiece features a period-correct, oversized 35mm case, placing it firmly in "jumbo size" territory for the late 1930s. Its distinctive, sculptural lugs earned it the Italian nickname "Fagiolino" (little bean). The dial, however, is its most defining characteristic, designed for a specific professional use. Known as the Medicus for doctors and nurses, the precise outer seconds track with highly visible minute/second markings was created to facilitate the tracking of a patient's pulse. The sector dial is complemented by blued steel hands and the vintage Omega logo. This manual wind watch represents a pinnacle of dependable vintage design and technical purpose.
