Omega Jumbo Waffle Dial Rare 1950 (Ref. 2504)

Omega Jumbo Waffle Dial Rare 1950 – An Early Jumbo with Dial Character

The Omega Jumbo Ref. 2504 dates from 1950 and comes in a 35 mm steel case with a beige dial. It is powered by the hand-wound Omega Cal. 283. The dial shows visible signs of age and tells the story of its history.

Dial, case and condition

By the standards of the time, a diameter of 35 mm was among the larger formats, which is probably where the nickname Jumbo comes from. The beige dial shows patina as well as a streak that comes close to a scratch. The index at 8 o'clock is missing. The dial has not been restored, and that is precisely its appeal: it is preserved in its naturally aged condition.

The watch has been professionally cleaned and checked. The case and bezel have been polished to a high shine, as has the acrylic crystal, which is no longer the original. The Cal. 283 has a power reserve of 45 hours. The watch is untested, so we make no statements about its running or timekeeping accuracy. A new leather strap with a length of 23.5 cm completes the watch on the wrist.

Who is this watch for?

It appeals to collectors who appreciate vintage watches from the early 1950s and prefer a dial with patina to a refurbished one. Anyone who can live with the missing index and the marking on the dial gets a watch with distinct character. It is also conceivable as an entry into Omega's early hand-wound models, provided the condition is knowingly accepted.

Conclusion

The Omega Jumbo Ref. 2504 from 1950 is an honest example with a well-kept case and an untouched dial. The signs of wear and the missing index are part of its appearance and should be consciously considered before making a decision.
