Omega Railmaster (Big)

[smithy37]

Is the Genuine Omega Railmaster Chronometer 50mm an Automatic or a hand wind?
I seem to be getting conflicting reports.

I could also do with a heads up on where to buy one with the brown leather strap (see pic - Thanks Harley!) with correct movement

Edit - I think this may be the Omega part number - 2806.52.37, if so it must be manual wind

Might have answered my own question here:

All I need now is that brown leather strap :roll:

I've been infatuated with that model since I've first seen it a few years ago at an AD.

Stupid question time to show my Omega illiteracy: what other models do Omega offer that have larger case sizes? Say 44mm and up?

Timesshops pretty reputable for CONUSA folks? *sorry if that was an unethical question*

This is a nice watch. I wanted it since I saw the gen photos. When my AD had it in stock I tried it on and was very disappointed. It's a nice watch but the band (22/20?) looks really out of place. If they sold it with something like 24/24 or 24/22 it would be a lot nicer imo.

While I didn't like it on my wrist I think think it's a cool retro design and the large case with manual wind based on the 6497 is classic.
