Omega - Seamaster - Oversized - 2990 1 SC / 2996 - Men - 1959

Beautiful extra-large Omega from the late 1950s.....made of solid steel.
The reference numbers (2990-1SC and 2996) show that Omega also used this case for the Ranchero.
The case measures 36.2 mm in diameter (excluding the crown) x 44.4 mm (lug tip to lug tip).

Hardly any signs of wear....nothing noticeable.

Silvery-satin dial with applied gold markers / numerals.....still in its original condition.
Gold hands and gold logo.
Some patina has developed over the years, and when viewed through a loupe, some dirt can be seen around the markers / numerals.
An unadorned dial...."no-nonsense"....characteristic of the 1950s.

Crystal still in excellent condition.

Signed steel Omega crown.....which winds and sets very easily.

Steel Omega snap-on caseback....during this period Omega did not mark these casebacks "Seamaster," so they could also be used for the "Ranchero" model.

The Omega manual-winding movement is cal. 284 and is numbered 169xxxxx, dating this watch to 1959.
It has been checked, oiled and regulated, and on the digital tester it shows an average deviation of just a few seconds over 24 hours (a snapshot).
Omega calibers from this series are among their most reliable and robust movements.

Complete with a red leather Hirsch strap and steel buckle.
Suitable for wrists up to well over 20 cm in circumference.
In short: a strikingly beautiful oversized Omega Seamaster....running perfectly and for sale with a warranty.

2-month warranty on the movement.

(Crystals, crowns, straps and.....are not covered).
