Here we have a rare 1950 Omega Black Waffle 2493-8 with a Jumbo 36mm stainless steel case, a large case size for its time, gently curves over your wrist with thick tapered drilled lugs. Its curved, strong case flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 45.5mm and a case thickness of 10mm, ensuring a comfortable fit. On the right side is a signed crown. Its smooth bezel holds a domed crystal above a stunning black waffle dial. Applied Gilt dagger and Arabic numeral indexes mark the hours, elegant gilt Dauphine hands are complemented by sub seconds at 6 o’clock, and at 12 o’clock, we have the applied Omega motif “Automatic” underneath completes this early and rare vintage timepiece. On the reverse, a screw-down solid case back, inside a bumper automatic Omega Cal. 332, 17 jewels, beating at 19,800 beats per hour. It comes paired with a well-suited 18mm leather strap and pin buckle.
