Post‑war Omega in a larger steel case
This Omega Classic Post War (ref. 2503-17) dates to circa 1952 and presents the era’s restrained dress aesthetic in a notably full‑size 36 mm steel case. A professionally restored black dial with gold‑tone hands and applied markers, paired with a sub‑seconds layout, reflects careful period‑correct finishing. Inside beats caliber 266 of the 30T2 family, a robust manual‑wind movement with 17 jewels and a long mid‑century pedigree. With its wearable dimensions, classic styling and recent documented service, this watch suits someone seeking an authentic, well‑sorted example of early 1950s Omega craftsmanship.
