very nice! Question: This 2505 is like 36.5mm, right. What is the largest Jumbo ref. size 1940-1960 non-Sports Omega?
2505 is 37.5mm; largest would be the 39mm center and subseconds 30mm manual wind watches that hoi is fond of.
Thanks for the reply's guys! The Jumbo's are so seldom talked about and kinda rare so I'm trying to learn.
Very nice textured dial! These are nice size watches and wear very well. Have found both the 30T2 and later 30mm calibers in these. Did Omega ever do a chronometer grade in this reference using the "RG"? (All I've seen are smaller 32-34mm cases with the chronometer movement.) I like the 39mm 2544 and 2545's also!
Wow, just noticed the unusual hour markers! Never seen a "double arrowhead" marker I like the look! X350 XJR, what caliber is in your 2505?
Thanks Kyle...learned two new things about Omega. They did a large case RG, plus I was not aware of any 5 digit case references from that period, 1939-1949.
Although it's slightly outside of your 1940-1960s range there's the CK2039 from 1938 which is 44mm in stainless and 45mm in gold, literally it's a dress watch the size of a planet ocean chronograph and wears bigger than nearly any panerai.
This one is a cal 266, ca 1954. My digital caliper measures it in at 38.4 from beside the crown across through the center of the hands.
Nice set there. Back to the real Jumbo... +38mm Not as beautiful as the arrow shaped indexed dial, but a Ref. 2505.
Original Geneve dials for this model are available from time to time on eBay but not recently. Case looks sharp.
I am aware of those nice dials and i thought of buying one. On the other hand, the beauty is this dial never had a Geneve marking on it although the arrow shaped is commonly seen in the Geneve line. It definitely shows some patina, dust and aging but it's not screaming for a cleaning.
