Cosmic Triple Calendar Moonphase

This vintage Omega Cosmic Triple Date Moonphase from the late 1940s or 1950s is a rare and highly collectible mid-century calendar watch. Encased in polished stainless steel (or possibly gold-capped steel), it features an elegant black dial configured for Spanish-speaking markets, as evidenced by the "LUN" (Lunes) and "ABR" (Abril) calendar windows. The timepiece elegantly balances its complex layout by pairing a striking golden moonphase indicator at the 6 o'clock position with a central pointer hand that tracks the numerical dates along the outer track. Driven by the legendary manual-wind Omega Caliber 27 DL PC (Caliber 381), this watch is fitted with distinct, sculpted lugs and a classic black leather strap, exemplifying the peak of post-war horological craftsmanship.

Catalogue note

This exceptional Omega Cosmic, Reference 2471, represents a defining milestone in Omega’s mid-century mastery of calendar complications. Introduced in 1947, the Cosmic line was the manufacture’s first wristwatch to simultaneously present the time, day, date, month, and phases of the moon, packaged in a highly sophisticated aesthetic that countered the utilitarian designs of the World War II era. The present example is particularly distinguished by its striking and rare black dial configuration featuring Spanish-language apertures ("LUN" / "ABR"), signifying its original delivery to the Iberian or Latin American market. Powered by the venerable manual-wind Caliber 27 DL PC (later designated Caliber 381), the watch combines high-grade horological engineering with timeless design, balanced by its elegant, sculpted downturned lugs and a beautifully preserved moonphase disc at 6 o’clock. Combining historical significance, complex mechanics, and immense charm, this timepiece remains an incredibly desirable trophy for the discerning collector of vintage complications.
