1950s Omega Seamaster Jumbo ref. 2494

Omega, a venerable Swiss watchmaking brand founded in 1848, has etched its name in horological history with precision, innovation, and a commitment to excellence. From gracing the wrists of astronauts during space missions to serving as the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games, Omega has been a trailblazer in the industry.

One of Omega’s flagship range was the Seamaster family, which appeared on dials in 1948. We present here a classic among the vintage dress watches, the Omega Seamaster in its reference 2494, aka “Jumbo”, for its large 36mm diameter. A real must-have of the early 50’s, it has the particularity of having an oversized case of 36mm that wears wonderfully well on the wrist.

Aesthetically speaking, its beautiful dial with its gold dagger-shaped indexes and quarter Arabic numeral and dauphine hands make it a real eye-catcher.

A perfect Omega Seamaster, classy and dressy for this end of year.
