very nice!
Question: This 2505 is like 36.5mm, right.
What is the largest Jumbo ref. size 1940-1960
non-Sports Omega?

 

Gotta Dibs that one, even if there is already a queue. Very nice indeed.

 

Ref 2544 and 2545 . 39mm in diameter

Ding, Ding, Ding.
Welcome!

 

Thanks for the reply's guys!
The Jumbo's are so seldom talked about
and kinda rare so I'm trying to learn.

 

Very nice textured dial! These are nice size watches and wear very well. Have found both the 30T2 and later 30mm calibers in these. Did Omega ever do a chronometer grade in this reference using the "RG"? (All I've seen are smaller 32-34mm cases with the chronometer movement.)

I like the 39mm 2544 and 2545's also!

 

Wow, just noticed the unusual hour markers! Never seen a "double arrowhead" marker I like the look!

X350 XJR, what caliber is in your 2505?

 

Thanks Kyle...learned two new things about Omega. They did a large case RG, plus I was not aware of any 5 digit case references from that period, 1939-1949.

 

This one is a cal 266, ca 1954.

My digital caliper measures it in at 38.4 from beside the crown across through the center of the hands.

 

Love any jumbo wrist watch. Biggest Omega sitting at home is the 1980s Geneve

 

Guys, this is terrible, my list of 'Must Have' jumbo vintage Omegas is growing steadily ;-)

 

Maybe a "Baby Jambo" at 36 mm but one of my favorites:


Ref. 2748-5, also a cal. 266


/F

 

Er, how about a baby jumbo , with little brother.

 

Nice set there.

Back to the real Jumbo... +38mm



Not as beautiful as the arrow shaped indexed dial, but a Ref. 2505.

 

I am aware of those nice dials and i thought of buying one. On the other hand, the beauty is this dial never had a Geneve marking on it although the arrow shaped is commonly seen in the Geneve line. It definitely shows some patina, dust and aging but it's not screaming for a cleaning.
