A great week part II - Omega "Exact Time" Table Clock

tdn-dk

Last week was one of the better ones

Landed two Clocks I have been looking for for a while

The other one is a not so common Omega "Shop Window/Display Clock" for dealers.

Reference 5008, caliber 53.7 SC with 100 hours power reserve from the early 1960's

Very heavy +2 kg!!

Is this battery operated or manual wind?

I find it funny that Omega didn't sign the movement that they put in the giant Omega clock 😁

The 53.7 SC (which dates from 1954) was a Lemania movement. This may be the reason that some of the movements are not signed.

This is a similar situation to the different (famous!) 53.7 chronograph – which dates back to 1932. This was when Lemania joined Omega and produced the most successful split seconds calibre (used in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics). This was produced into the ’50s with some of the movements being signed Omega and some Lemania (which can be confusing because the movement numbers follow (either) Omega (or) Lemania numbers.

They are signed.
