The present CK 2039 is a remarkable and breathtaking watch measuring a massive 44mm in diameter which was absolutely gargantuan for the era: at the time gentleman’s dress watches usually measured between 31 and 35 mm in diameter, with 37 mm already considered oversized. Introduced in 1938, Omega’s reference CK 2039 is a wonderful example of Omega’s diverse production prior to their famed association with the American space race in the mid-20th century. These models were made for the Polish market and the present example is one of the rarest of all Omega wristwatches. Inside is the Omega caliber 37.6S, a robust pocket watch movement most often used in early military or aviator watches.

Elevating the present watch’s importance is the never-before-seen lacquered black dial, remaining beautifully preserved and highly glossy. The condition of the case is equally impressive, with minimal signs of wear considering its age and remarkably, in our opinion, having never been polished. Offered for the first time publicly by an important collector, the watch will appeal to all connoisseurs due to its exceptional rarity, outstanding quality, and contemporary dimensions.
