Got a pair of them.



The one on the left is a 8 Days cal. 59 8-D that originally have been mounted in the dashboard on a bus or truck, dates to around 1947. I got it serviced an had a stand made in wood and it is now in daily use on my desk.

The one on the right is a 8 Days cal. 110/59 8-D from the Swedish marine, stamp with the three crowns and an inventory number. This number the SWEDISH NATIONAL MARITIME MUSEUMS could provide the information that this clock was bought from A/S Rob Engström for 139,75 SEK and was used on the minesweeper HMS Iggö M60, the serial dates it to around 1948/49 sold some years later. Just got it serviced an now hanging on my wall

Would like to se your Omega 8 Days

 

here we go, but a little different as they are 8 days SCS chronometers with jump second

 

Very very nice wonder if they sold on certain markeds, dont recall seeing them on auctions here in Scandinavia

 

the first 2 from the left were designed for USA, the others should have been available all over Europe I guess

 

I don't own one, but my watchmaker had this in for repair last year.











The eccentric jewel on the escape wheel is what causes the seconds hand to advance in one-second increments.

Would love one of these for a wall clock......

 

and here's the data sheet

 

Here is one of mine, i got totally 4. Do you know the value??

 

Not sure, think I got mine cheap, 425€.

Do yours have Military markings? Mine was last used on a Swedish Minesweeper M60 Iggö

 

Yes it does

 

Was it easy to find out which ship it came from?

 

All 4 of them

 

Cool clocks! I have a couple of them and I paid between 350-500$ each.

 

Sounds like a fair price!

 

I contacted the Swedish Marine Museum, and the tree crowns and the unique number 301 they could look up in the inventory list from back then.
