Omega is a prestigious Swiss watch manufacturer with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The brand became known for its precision and innovative timekeeping technology, establishing itself as a leader in the watchmaking industry.
In 1950, Omega released the reference 2505-16, an oversize classic dresswatch. This one is characterized by its elegant design, featuring a stainless steel oversized 38 mm case and an hand-winding,cal.265, movement. It often came with a simple and classic soleil dial.
Omega's commitment to craftsmanship and quality in this piece exemplifies the brand's legacy of excellence, making it a sought-after collector's item today. The model reflects the transitional period in watchmaking during the mid-20th century when mechanical watches were moving towards enhanced functionality and design sophistication.
The watch is in stunning condition, combined with a vintage pigskin strap and a steel buckle also from the period.
