My first mechanical watch was also my first Omega - a 2534.50. It just came back from the spa. It’s a great watch & bracelet. The bracelet is not a diving bracelet, but it’s not a dive watch, it just has the water resistance of one. I love it for the wave dial, sword hands, the lack of the helium valve, and the large lume. I’ve had this watch for 22 years now, the lume is still strong. (The hands in this picture are new, but the old hands are fine. I was surprised they replaced them.)
I wish you luck in finding a good example, I’m sure you’ll love it. I think it’s an underrated item in Omega’s catalog.
