Il vero punto di svolta nella produzione della [[OMAS]] avvenne infatti nel 1932, quando venne introdotto quello che resterà per vari decenni uno dei modelli di punta dell'azienda, la [[Omas Extra]], realizzata in celluloide sfaccettata, con [[caricamento a levetta]] e dotata di una vera molto ampia sul cappuccio, decorata con un motivo a forma di greca. Prodotta in quattro diverse dimensioni e lanciata con lo slogan ''creazione di artista e di scienziato'', venne accompagnata da una campagna pubblicitaria molto estesa.
