Omega Ref. CK2039
1939
Omega introduced this 44mm diameter round-cased reference in 1938, rebelling against the typical smaller wristwatches that were popular at that time. In early 20th century, this size was more commonly seen in pocket watches than in wristwatches which had been gaining traction as the preferred timepiece for daily use. Wristwatches were produced in small sizes that both enhanced the portability and showcased the technological feats achieved in the compact and yet accurate watch. Hence this reference is a rare timepiece for its size that is considered unusual during its era.
