·Good evening everybody,
another one needs to go. I haven’t owned this for long, but shortly after finding it I stumbled upon a 2639 in a similar configuration that gets to me a little more, and consequently this 2503 is looking for a new owner.
It’s a large 36mm SS 50s black gilt dial with contrasting gold hardware and a rather lovely patina. 😀
The Watch
Omega
Reference: 2503
Movement: cal. 266 manual wind
Serial: 13353113
Year: 1952
Case: 36mm stainless steel
Dial: original black gilt dial, gold furniture, applied Omega logo, sub-second
Strap: black leather, new (see pictures)
Condition
Dial & Hands: Original black gilt dial with heavy, yet attractive “starry night” patina evenly everywhere except at the very center. I’ve tried to show the different appearances: In direct sunlight the patina is visible throughout the dial. The darker it gets, the blacker the dial becomes until it seems like a very deep black.
Please do note that the pictures in direct sunlight show the shade of scratches on the plexis - the dial is fine, besides the aforementioned patina.
Some aging on hands and indices but they retained their strong gold color and really pop in the sunlight. Lume intact, sun second shows the circular structure as it should, Swiss Made present and visible.
Case: Original 36mm stainless steel case in used condition with plenty of life left in it. These lugs were rather rounded from the factory, so I find it hard to judge how much it’s been polished. There’s small superficial scratches everywhere, they are consistent to the overall shape of the watch, though. Case back looks sharp with original brushing.
Crown: Original Omega crown which I believe to be the correct style for the ref.
Crystal: Generic crystal with a few small scratches, no cracks though.
Movement: Original cal. 266 in clean condition. Sets, winds and runs well, service history is unknown though.
Strap: Comes on the new black leather strap, as depicted. I could offer the dark burgundy Lizard strap (new) as an optional extra.

I’m also happy to provide multiple positive feedback on another watch forum, as well as a verification through my eBay-account that has been standing for approaching 20 years, with >2000 reviews, 100% positive. Please do ask.
Payment, Shipping & Returns
Payment is accepted via PayPal F&F, bank transfer, Transferwise or cash in person - PayPal G&S for established members only please. Happy to meet you for a personal transaction, of course. Coffee’s on me.
I'm asking
750€
The watch is located in Germany. Tracked and insured shipping is usually
6€ nationally
12€ within the EU/GB/Switzerland
~30-50€ to the rest of the world
Happy to ship wherever, get in touch and I'm sure we can figure something out.
No returns unless I misrepresented the watch in any way.
If there are any questions, please do reach out. And, as always, thanks @OF for the space!
Here are some pictures - feel free to ask for more. My apologies for the reflections, I found it very hard with my limited photography skills and equipment. Black dials are much easier to look at than to take a picture of. 😀
Note: There are two case screws missing in this movement picture. They won’t be when I ship it, of course. 😉
