reference 2254 I believe.
I think maybe some connection to the RCAF during WW2 but someone will be along soon who knows what they are really talking about.

The concern is that it would make its way into the gears. Take is to a watchmaker and have it removed.
Firstly its not a Techron which has a very different case.
Secondly its not a ref 2254 although the case marking says so - it is a cross-reference 2337 which has an 18J movement inside while the 2254 has a chronometre movement. Omega missed on amending the embossed ref.# 2254 when using up left over cases and so causes errors when collectors try to assess this model. When you order an EoA using solely the movement serial# you will receive the correct ref# 2337 on your extract.
This topic has already been discussed several times...
V VoivodThe hands do not illuminate in the dark, if they are radioactive, they should still illuminate, no ?
Otherwise, it seems to be a fantastic watch.
Very nice watch and a great heirloom. The hands and dial are definitely radioactive (radium has a very long half-life), but they will no longer be luminous because the phosphor has degraded over time. This is standard for watches of this age.
