You guys are making me light-headed.

World War II era is as old as can be mustered here, this one being from 1944.

How do you wear that on your wrist?

Never underestimate the power of duct tape. It's like The Force: it has a dark side, it has a light side, and it holds the universe together.

Nice thread idea! Great watches so far!

Not mine but my fathers, former great grandmothers watch, so it's the oldest omega in my family. It's currently undergoing a full restoration, will post post service pics soon.
Sorry for the crappy pics, dial is emaille, hands are blued, case is silver.

my oldest (non pocket watch conversion)...



to give you a feeling of the real size



and a comparison with a Speedy



over 50 mm long - it really deserves the designation Jumbo

Amazing watch, love the exploding numbers and the detail in the center of the dial.

Looks like a converted wall clock!

That's a dandy.

Dial is 28.8mm so im assuming this is from a wristwatch. Kind of cheating as I dont have the rest of the watch and not sure if you guys would consider this an Omega.

nifty dial you have there, I too wish you had the movement

My oldest Omega. According to the good folks on this forum it is a CK793 from around 1936:

Well i’m waiting on delivery of this movement. It is about 30mm so hoping it fits and is appropriate to this dial I have. It winds at 3 o’clock but I know you can always shift the dial configuration. Date is about 1890s I think and Omega logo on the balance. It’s nothing much to look at.
