Description

Gents Omega Jumbo wrist watch, 1951.

UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM

The watch has a 15-jewel calibre 265 hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The movement is fully signed and it has the serial number 12,742,029 which dates it back to around 1951.

The watch is a good wearable size at 38mm diameter excluding the winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in lovely condition for such an early piece, just minor surface marking.

The inside of the case back has the early Omega logo, together with the case reference 2505-8 which is correct for the calibre 265 movement.

Signed Omega winding crown.

The lens is in lovely condition.

The dial has been professionally re-finished but a long time ago so it has developed a charming patina. The hands appear to be the originals, certainly period hands of the right dauphine style.

The watch has a later leather strap.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

Declaration

The Vintage Wrist Watch Company has dated this piece to the 1950s.
