OmegaThis Omega Disco Volante, identified by reference CK2245 and dating to circa 1944, is a time-only wristwatch constructed from stainless steel. The watch is distinguished by its 'UFO' case design, which lacks external lugs and measures 39mm in diameter, featuring a recessed crown.
Internally, the piece is equipped with an Omega manual-winding movement. The watch presents a glossy black dial containing gold-tone Arabic numerals, an outer minute track, and a concentric subsidiary seconds register located at the 6 o'clock position. The time is indicated by a set of gold-tone syringe-style hands. The design of the case is circular with hidden lugs, resembling the profile of a flying saucer, a characteristic for which the model is colloquially known.
The timepiece is currently fitted to a leather strap.

Design
- Dial and Hands
- The watch features a glossy black dial marked with gold-tone Arabic numeral indices. A subsidiary seconds register is positioned at the 6 o'clock position, displaying a concentric pattern that contrasts with the primary surface of the dial. The layout includes an outer minute track encompassing the Arabic numerals. Time is displayed using a set of gold-tone syringe-style hands, which correspond to the indices and the gold-toned aesthetic of the dial markers.
- Case and Design
- The Omega Disco Volante, reference CK2245, is constructed in stainless steel with a notable 39mm diameter. Its design is colloquially referred to as 'UFO' due to the configuration of the case, which intentionally obscures the lugs, creating a circular profile compared to a flying saucer. The construction includes a recessed crown which is set flush into the case side, maintaining the unbroken circular silhouette of the watch.
- Visible features
- • Glossy black dial with gold-tone accents • Concentric circular pattern in the subsidiary seconds dial • Circular stainless steel case without traditional projecting lugs • Recessed crown integrated into the case profile
