After WWII, Finland imposed strict watch import restrictions, with high taxes and limited gold watch availability. To overcome this, some companies imported Omega parts and used local goldsmiths to create gold cases. These partially Finnish-made Omega watches were mainly produced between 1948 and 1954, before import restrictions were lifted.
