Here is a scarce and highly collectible vintage Omega jumbo-sized timepiece. This watch is notable for its rare jumbo size, measuring a large 39mm in diameter (excluding the crown) and 45mm from lug tip to lug tip. The size makes it appear similar to a pocket watch on a smaller wrist.
The watch features a professionally serviced manual wind movement, which is an Omega calibre 265. It runs strong and accurately, with a movement serial number of 11696831, dating this piece to 1949. The case is rose gold plated and remains in very good condition. The model reference number of this case model is 2544-1, which is also rare.
The factory original finish on the dial has beautifully aged and developed a charming patina. The watch has its original set of leaf hands and a brand new crystal. The crown is original and signed.
Additionally, it will come with a high-quality, handmade vintage-style genuine leather strap measuring 20mm. The wrist size shown in the photo is 6 inches.
