I bought an Omega sweep center seconds from the 1940s Over a year ago.

It comes with a 30 page leather owners book in which all details of the watch are anoted , namenof the owner , when the owners sold his watch in omega noted the nee owner

also the books is about Teddington observatory and omega chronometer precision .

Also the case used to be goldfilled But has faded .


I seeking for more information about the watch he history and the movement .

Many Thanks !

 

You definitely have something very interesting and rare there. That's about all I can say. My advice is don't let it go and don't change a thing. That's looking like something I'd see in a museum. Keep all that stuff sealed up and dry with moisture and oxygen adsorbent.

 

thank you I will

 

DB/CK2346 around 1944 with a 30SC movement - lovely watch and amazing to have all the papers. Could you put a picture up from the inside of the case back?

It seems you already know a lot about this watch and it's great you have it along with some extraordinary documentation.

Is this the same watch?

All I can say is that the dial is missing four of its hour markers and you should check the spring bars.

Here you go .

Also Note that the number written in the book matches the movement .

Also added a pic where change of owner is noted .

 

Not that much i asked around , But I dont understand the movement .

As according to online data the movement should be 30t1 But it is stamped 30t2 . Also in the book is says s.o s.c

And ref db 2346 instead of ck 2346 or other abrivations . Db might mean gold filled.

 

Looks like it all checks out. I think you could get the watch professionally serviced and just ask them to keep it original / just clean up the movement and maybe some light cleaning on the watch - no refurbishment so it stays original. You could also order an extract from the archive from omega. You don't really need that as you have the book but it is nice to have and not that expensive. It would also cross check the movement and case.

 

Yes I read the great write up by franco in my question to find info

But it only adds to more confusion as to the 30t1 movement and 30t2 stamp under the balance .

You guys are my last resort to some answers.

Many Thanks.
