That is VERY COOL!
What was the reason for such a big watch way back then? Surely it had a purpose.
How often do these come up?
Has one ever sold on here?
What is the value (all I have seen are auctions at big houses which I don't trust LOL)

I am as puzzled as you. More than $10k I think.

I think finding one will be as much as a problem as paying for it!

·Paying for it is no problem if I find one that truly sings to me....
My vintage interests lay more in sports watches BUT despite having 6.8 in wrists I like watches from 40-44 mm. Bigger is just too much for my wrist....
Something like this surely had to have some purpose as that was HUGE for a watch back then,
Big vintage that is not a recased pocket watch really interests me!

·No one suggested the vintage Flightmaster yet - or maybe it is in the pilots watch thread...

·Seamaster Chronostop 1968 Mexico (ref. 145.007/145.008 with second crown for the inner bezel) case width without crown 41mm
or a 145.0040 Speedmaster Professional (Teutonic) has 43mm without crown
and a pity that you barred the Flightmasters from your list, great timepieces (43mm w/o crown)

Omega seemed to make quite a few of these larger case watch references for the European market. If you search by Omega “jumbo” you’ll find other references like the Disco Volante and CK2544 at 39mm and many in the 38mm size like the 2505 etc...
The CK 2039 is probably not a watch that you’ll ever see for sale unless you dedicate your life to finding obscure Omega watches, I’ve seen a couple offered privately for huge money and I was kinda joking when I threw this out to you. In a certain way the bigger the Omega dress watch the more uncommon it is.
The CK2039 carries a factory-installed pocket watch movement to give you an idea of how massive it is. There must have been trends in parts of Europe for big watches, but it didn’t seem to have a specific use as a tool watch because I’ve seen one in a gold case with gold dial.
Maybe its purpose is just to be a watch for giant men.

·Hi KK Bullet Tan,
Not quiet sure if you're asking for my opinion but in case you did:
from what's determinable alone form the (poor quality) pictures I would say all fine with set of hands, the outer bezel and the dial. Seems to all fit to the same decade. Same with the movement but here can't say if its clean enough to assume, it recently might got an overhaul or not.
But aside that you might have a case issue. the polished edge of the case seems (to me) a bit too broad and also vary its width at the end of the lug (here esp. the lug at 5 o'clock) compared to my Chronostop. Same with the sunburst brush, seems not to be a masterpiece of clockmakers craftmanship.
This all would get me walking away from this piece, esp. with view on the relatively high price.
To ease up your search and as a reference some more detailled pictures from mine (case got a masterly lapidary machine overhaul from an german Omega vintage specialist)
And the edges sub to the lugs are that sharp that you can cut paper with them 😀

·For your training pleasure you could try to indentify which of these Chronostops have
- unoverhauled but properly maintained original condition or
- are well done
- or are badly overhauled in terms of their case and caseback 😎
https://www.chrono24.de/search/inde...ue&searchexplain=1&watchTypes=&accessoryTypes=
And please do ignore most of them pricewise 😀

·Looks like I have to settle for those pocket watch that was converted to wrist watch like this 48mm one below:
But you are selling that one too, right? 🙄 And I won't mention the Patek monstrosity you have listed....I'll save you the blushes 😉
