Presentation of the piece

We present a piece of exclusivity and technical presence beyond the ordinary: an Omega "Jumbo" manufactured in 1955. This specimen is not only an icon of Swiss engineering, but it stands out for its imposing 38 mm size, an extremely rare and sought-after measure at the time, which gives it a modern, robust, and exceedingly elegant look on today’s wrist.

Classical Sphere in a Sovereign State:
The dial is a lesson in balance and sophistication. In an elegant silver tone with subtle champagne reflections, it remains in enviable condition. Its applied indices and the Omega logo stand out with absolute sharpness against the dial. The generous small-seconds subdial at 6 o'clock, with its distinctive concentric-circle texture, adds visual depth that only the finest dials from the 1950s can offer.

Exceptional Preservation of the "Jumbo" Box
The strongest point of this specimen is its exceptional condition. It’s really difficult to locate a 1955 Omega with a 38 mm case whose lines, angles, and finishes remain so sharp and vivid after 70 years. The case shows admirable shine and cleanliness, demonstrating that it has been a piece treated with exquisite care. It is complemented by its original stainless steel case back (reference 2181-7), which guarantees the integrity of its interior.

Legendary Caliber 266:
In its heart beats the prestigious Calibre 266, direct descendant of the legendary Omega 30 mm movements that dominated the precision tests of Swiss observatories. This 17-jewel manual-wind mechanism is famous among collectors for its durability and its impeccable technical craftsmanship.

Condition of preservation
The watch is in top-tier condition. The combination of an oversize 38 mm case that is so well preserved with the timeless elegance of its dial creates a piece of absolute distinction. It is a unique opportunity to own an Omega from the “golden era” in a contemporary-sized format and in superb aesthetic condition.

Investment Opportunity:
This 1955 Omega is the perfect choice for the discerning collector who seeks the best of both worlds: the brand's historic prestige and a 'Jumbo' size that makes it a perfectly contemporary, eye-catching, and elegant watch.
