Maybe we should make a list of all the jumbo (37mm or more) omega models. I've never saw one.

I planned on doing some future posts on the topic but here is a list I've been keeping:

These don't include Seamasters, Constellations or oversize chronometers.
Of course there are stainless and gold versions of some of these cases and the list is in no way complete.
Also note some of these references share the same case.

2097
2181
2186
2256
2272
2309
2319
2325
2482
2485
2487
2505
2506
2544
2545
2580
2603
2604
2609
2620
2663
2714
2807
2808
2809
2896
3903
3944
3950

Because there is so little information available we really need a reference on the topic. If any other members are interested and would like to collaborate please reach out to me.

Wearing a 37mm 26.5 today.
CK859 with its newly acquired dial.
The examples I have owed all seem to be delivered to Eastern Europe.
Cheers, Michael

Here is its low-rent Tissot cousin (in the rare 'sans onze' dial variant)...

Nice.
I have one similar that I'm going to repair when I get the the parts and time.
Cal 27?

Yup. Like the 26.5, an awfully small movement for such a case!

Thanks to our OP for a great thread, reviving a real fun topic. But with apologies for the digression... "sans onze" - is that a thing? I have to say, it looks a bit odd. I had no luck googling - please educate us. Or am I missing a gag here, sorry? 🤔

Just a bit of fun 😁
It's a very worn dial and the '11' is missing.

It's a chromed case with fixed lugs and a pretty pedestrian movement; a testament to the different tiers that Omega and Tissot positioned their products on in those days.

Two manual 50's jumbo Longines about the same case diameter ~37mm excluding crown, but one wears significally larger than the other

I have probably posted this group shot before, but I'll contribute it here since it's almost relevant. I say "almost" because many of these are from the early 1960s (except for the Omega, obviously), so perhaps a little late to truly fit into the theme of the thread.
