Omega chronometer (1944)

£ 1,895

This is a manual wind Omega chronometer dating from around 1944. The watch has a chronometer movement (30T2RG) which was adjusted to keep very precise time. A chronometer is a watch that has passed a seris of strict, independent tests of the time keeping under controlled conditions for a period of several days.

The 30T2RG movement is beautifully finished - the components are wonderfully polished and bevelled. There is a very interesting and detailed exploration of the Omega manual wind chronometers here (http://squelettewatches.com/chronometres-30mm/)

The case is made from 14 carat gold, which presumably means it was intended for export to the USA. The brushed silvered dial is in really excellent condition with applied gold numerals and hour markers.

The watch has been fully serviced and regulated and performance is excellent. It comes with a new old stock strap and a gold plated vintage Omega signed buckle.

Case diameter (excluding winding crown): 33mm
Case material: 14 carat gold
strap width: 17mm
time keeping: grade A

Shipping guide for t-shirts

Our t-shirts are printed by us and shipped from our workshop in London. This means if you place an order for both a watch and t-shirt(s), they will be shipped together via an express service. Delivery times for these can be found here.

If you order a t-shirt without a watch, it will be shipped via a Royal Mail tracked service which usually takes a little longer. You can see an estimated timescale when you input your address at the checkout.

Shipping guide for straps (unless purchased with a watch): 

Free Royal Mail 1st Class / International tracked shipping, 2-14 working days depending on location. You can see a more accurate timescale when you input your address at the checkout.

Please note, during busy sale periods dispatch may take a little longer (this is quite rare). These delivery times are a guide based on the carriers terms of service, products may, in some unusual cases take longer to arrive. If this happens, please get in touch.
