Description from the seller

Rare Omega Red Star Ref. 2750-2 | Cal. 266 | Large 35mm Stainless Steel Case | Small Seconds | 1952

Extremely Rare Omega "Red Star" – Known Among Collectors as the "Reddington"

Offered here is an exceptionally rare Omega "Red Star", a highly collectible variant often referred to by collectors as the "Reddington" Omega.

The distinctive red star positioned beneath the Omega logo has become one of the most recognizable features found on certain early 1950s Omega watches. While Omega never officially used the term "Reddington", the nickname has become widely established among vintage watch collectors and is now commonly associated with these elusive Red Star models.

The watch is currently running properly and keeps time. All functions operate as intended. As with any vintage timepiece, long-term accuracy and water resistance cannot be guaranteed.

Produced in comparatively small numbers and believed to have been destined for specific export markets, surviving examples are significantly rarer than standard Omega dress watches from the same era. As a result, they have become increasingly sought after by dedicated Omega enthusiasts worldwide.

The dial appears to have been lightly refinished in the past, while notably preserving the iconic red star signature, one of the model's most distinctive and collectible features.
