Hello, may I ask what are the large size Omega vintage watches. The largest size I came upon is 44mm Skywalker without the crown. Reason for asking is that I have been browsing around for such watches and find that I am spending too much time. I hope to narrow down to a few watches and research on it. Hope to hear some recommendations. Thank you in advance.

Probably the Ploprof but Google can confirm that.

Thanks for your suggestions. Do we classified this as a vintage?

The original version is from the 1970's, so yes we do!

Ok guys, thanks for the suggestion. I need to qualify myself that I can't take this shape....sorry for not being clear. Any more conservative type.

You can also have a look at the Seamaster 120 ”Big Blue” and Seamaster 1000 ”Grand”, not biggest in width but massive in terms of height / volume.

You could also look at the Speedmaster, Seamaster 300 or if you’re looking for a dress watch the maybe something similar to what @Banner Roar is looking for here:

Most manufacturers had a line of large thin dress watches that hovered around 36-38mm. Might be too small for you? Here's a thread full of them:

Vintage pilot's watches can get up to 40mm or more. Here's a thread on these:

The OP asked about the biggest, I really don't see relevance in your suggestions, they are standard sized watches

True. I just understood the question not as literal and academic as actually finding THE biggest. I would argue that they are on the bigger side when talking vintage omegas. Just ytring to help.

But please chime in @cristos71.

Well as has already been suggested some of the 1970's sports Omega's are very large. Width wise my money's on the Ploprof and height wise probably the Big Blue chrono

Bring your wallet.

How about the Speedmaster 125? They are very reasonably priced, so if you purchased one for each wrist, you could also use them as dumb bells if you work out.

Yup. I did considered that. However, it somehow lacks the originality of a vintage though it is also a vintage on it's own.

Seamaster 176.010 are 43mm wide if I am not mistaken (plus they are absolutely gorgeous)
Speedy Mk III are 42mm but given the shape I guess they'll wear quite big compared to the Pro
