Inspired by post published yesterday by our dear Blomman...
... and in coincidence with the watch I have been wearing during this week, I wish to share a few shots of my old Omega.
It is a reference 2505-31 from circa 1948 (my birth year by the way so I'm as vintage as my watch! Lol!).
This watch has a caliber 265 inside which Is a descendant of the legendary 30T2 caliber.
The steel case is 38 mm diameter very big for those far year standards.
The big clean silver dial with silver handset and markers make for the classic charming look of this timepiece.
I'm delighted to view the case back with the original circular polish.
This model is commonly known in collecting circles as the "Jatucka" as it was popularized by well known Italian watch dealer Roberto Randazzo who usually wears his 2505-15 as his "lucky watch".
I love these big classic watches made by Omega more than sixty years ago!
Cheers! Abel

Thank you dear Alkiro! Yes, the big sub dial adds charm to the dial. I prefer it to the central seconds though of course these ...

'125' also shared a jumbo last week . . .
. . . and one of the larger references at that, a 2544 that comes in at 39 mm. Only one with an original dial has been posted here before, some six years ago . . . . . . by Erich [log-in: mac_omega]. Jumbos are worth collecting; not many were produced to ...
A little research uncovers another original ref 2544 . . .
. . . alongside a center seconds 2545. [ref 2544 left, ref 2545 right] These two belong to Hoi, and were posted here six years ago. If my eyes aren't playing tricks, the sweep seconds version is cased in pink gold. Now that's extraordinary! Art ...

... picture of it now. This watch was the property of my friendly watchmaker which services my watches since many years ago. He mantained it with much care and I couldnĀ“t resist to ask him to sell it to me a few years ago. Cheers! Abel
Absolutely stunning, my friend!
A close cousin to my 2400 SuverƤn! So many lovely details in a "at first look" plain dial. The silver mirror on the 12, the leaf hands, the mix of circular and triangular indexes.... Congrats, my friend! Best Blomman
Superb catch, dear Abel, and for it
to be a birth year watch, well, that's just extra icing. Well done ! Best regards, - - Seeks
