Talking about oversized 30 mm Omega watches... here is mine.
Hi everyone...
Ok found my oversized 39mm steel snap back case Omega with a caliber 266 movement case ref 2609 2 . The watch takes a 20 mm strap, wears large on the wrist due to the thin bezel anf hi rise plastic crystal. Original dial with scratches and marks and the extremely large sub seconds register.

I am in doubt...
Hi Bill, I doubt that your watch is a 2609... it looks completely like my 2544 while the 2609 looks different as we can see by the other examples in this thread... Just an assumption! One of the 2 shown 2609 must be wrong or a marriage! Have you ever as...
You are right, Erich.
By looking at the lugs and shape, it's a 2544 powered by a 266 caliber like this one. and here is the lugs of her sister 2545....
another mystery...
Hi Erich Agree it looks exactly like your ref.... 2544 , I do not know why the caseback is marked 2609. Also The caseback of the 2609 in the other posts would not fit my watch. They also have a different shape to them. Just odd I guess.. miss-marked caseb...
