The 2657 already sits in a desirable category, but what makes this watch genuinely exceptional is the combination of two features that rarely appear together: a Huguenin Frères oversized case and a two-tone dial dressed with warm rose-gold applied markers and numerals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"744\" data-start=\"331\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe case, stamped with the HF hallmark of Huguenin Frères on the caseback, is among the most respected case constructions of the early Seamaster era. Huguenin Frères produced all-stainless steel cases with solid, beefy lugs, and their oversized Jumbo HF cases — at 36.2–36.3mm - feature a lovely stepped bezel that wears beautifully on the wrist. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt this size, the Omega 2657  was considerably larger than other Seamasters of the period\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, placing it in a category that collectors have long recognized as a standout.
