Tropical 1950 Omega Oversized Dress Watch 18K RG (Ref. 2687) Two-Tone Dial

$ 4,150

The world of vintage Omega is vast and filled with interesting and unique references, from sports models to dress watches and everything in between. This 37mm ref. 2603-2, often referred to as a “jumbo” for its large-for-the-era size, somehow ticks multiple boxes all at once: a dash of military influence with a bit of a dressy vibe, all in a super classic daily wearer. The exceptionally well-preserved dial has aged to a really light champagne color, and the in-house Omega cal. 265 manual wound movement with center sweep seconds hand is one of the brand's classic workhorses. This would be a perfect addition for any Omega collector or anyone who appreciates the rare finding of a time capsule from the 1950s.

CASE & BRACELET

The wonderful oversized 18K rose gold case remains in excellent condition, showing nominal signs of previous use, with crisp finishing throughout and only light evidence of being previously polished present. The Omega signed crown is believed to be original. The snap-on case back is incredibly clean with almost no signs of previous wear. The watch comes supplied on a two-piece handmade leather strap.

DIAL & HANDS

The originally silver two-tone dial has aged to feature a rich, warm "tropical" patina throughout, which, paired with the equally wonderful spotted patina and two-tone dial, creates an almost holographic effect with natural light. Apart from the noted patina, the dial exhibits some gentle marks that are mostly unnoticeable to the naked eye. The original rose gold dauphine-style hands are in excellent condition as well.

ACCESSORIES

None. The watch is keeping time, though the service history is unknown. A movement service can be purchased upon request.
