1952 Jumbo - What I know and what I would like to know

Hi, I unearthed a vintage Omega recently.
It was in a Box for 40 years. I winded it and it ran just perfectly.
I like it very much and I had a basic service for it (new glas, caliber serviced).

It's a 2506-11SC from 1952 based on the cal. 283 serial number.
The dial has been silver plated (must have been in 60ies or 70ies).
So the "Omega" is clearly not correct any more, as well as the small painted black minute indices. "Swiss made" not there.

What I really would like to know, how the dial looked originally.

I spent several hours on the web and I did not find one single image, where size, indexes, hands and arabic numerals (not printed, but inserted) were like this one. Hands are arrow shaped, no lume anywhere, center second and arabic indices at 3,6,9,12. The other indices are arrow shaped as well (saw this on a seamaster), roughly 3.5 mm long (there are examples of 2506 with longer ones). Maybe more than just the dial color has been changed? I have no idea and I hope you experts could help me out here!

Thanks a lot! Norbert

I forgot: it's a 38mm case.

That is a bad redial: that crooked "OMEGA" font.... 😀

Yes indeed!
If I just knew what this watch looked like originally (any idea?), maybe I could fine the correct dial somewhere?
Maybe this this just not possible...

There were many runs of the manufacture (yours is the 11th) and many different dials, all correct I suppose. It is hard to know after so many years which of them are later replacements, or even good redials. Vintages are a minefield.

Still I was a bit surprised, that I did not find one single dial with the same layout of indices and hands in this size - independent from the color of the dial. In the end I might just leave it like it is. Thanks fjf.

You can try ebay and look for 2505 or 2506 dials.

It probably looked like this:

Thanks noelekal, I did this for hours - I did not find a similar one (again - of course the dial color is not original, but looking for the inserts and hands).

I don't know why you say "of course"... Omega did a wide variety of dials. If you look at the link I posted, the dial shown from the catalog is the same as what you have with respect to the markers, as well. I personaly wouldn't change anything.

The dial has been silver plated at some point, and the black painted minute markers as well as the written "OMEGA" are not original - from what one can see and from what a watchmaker told me. I know the page you linked (thanks for that!) - the hands look similar, the indices not. Most likely I will leave the watch like it is, I just wanted to learn, how it looked in the original state.
