Omega Jumbo from the early 1950s
A 38mm steel Jumbo from circa 1953, this Omega captures the restrained elegance of early post‑war dress watches with its larger case proportions, recessed small‑seconds and period‑correct acrylic crystal. The dial has been professionally restored using traditional techniques, and the signed crown preserves a touch of original character. At its heart sits Caliber 266 of the 30T2 family, a robust 17‑jewel manual‑wind movement celebrated for dependable timekeeping. For the modern collector, it offers vintage presence and straightforward mechanics, complemented by a recent 2026 service for immediate, confident wear.
