Mid‑Century Jumbo with Crosshair Dial
This Omega Reference 2609 16 dates to circa 1954 and presents as a mid‑century jumbo in a 37.5 mm steel case. The two‑tone graphite dial with a central crosshair and sunburst finish emphasizes period design and wrist presence, while a period‑correct acrylic crystal and signed crown retain the era’s character. Inside, the manual‑winding Caliber 266 belongs to Omega’s respected 30‑mm family, noted for robust engineering and straightforward serviceability. Recently serviced with documentation, the watch offers a historically grounded wrist experience that appeals to collectors who appreciate classical proportions and mechanical clarity.
