Lot Essay

This endangered species strap is shown for display purposes only and is not for sale. The watch will be supplied with a calf leather strap.

The present ref. 2486-2 is a very well-preserved example of the oversized Omega Cosmic model. The large size and beautifully aged dial render it an appealing collectors timepiece.

The Cosmic collection was introduced into the market in 1947 and remained in production until around 1956. It was available in stainless steel, gold-plated, 14K and 18K gold, and furthermore in two different sizes, 35 mm. and 37.5 mm.
