I think this caliber deserves a thread.

This small caliber from 1934 had a 60 hour power reserve, not beaten by any mechanical Omega calibers until the caliber 8500 from 2006.



I will start with mine:

CK 3516 - CK 891 and CK 921

Very nice watches! What is the name of the book? Thanks!

Ooh thread necrology. I need to stop posting before breakfast. It is almost lunch time. And time to start packing away holiday stuff.

Anyway I found the remains of one last year. Still need to track down the missing parts.

Such a shame! You have movement parts, and (I assume), a case. I have a complete running T17, but no case! Decent dial, original (unusual) hands. Missing seconds hand, sadly.

A good start for a joint venture 😁 👍

No case, unless one of the American cases fits it, which I have not tried. Nice dial.
Broken center wheel and seconds wheel. I may have found the pinion and most of the setworks. Do not think those are the correct hands, these were in the box/tray nearby where some of the parts were found.
What was weird was I found the bridges in a different box than the movement.

Parts like the AR 1187/94 were spread across several trays and drawers. Still missing the clip for the balance jewel and the regulator. Seems odd I would find what looks like a balance and the cap jewel. Pallet fork is also missing.
Ofrie may have some of the parts. Too bad they no longer do walkins. I also got a link to the Jules Borel site. Got busy with the other projects.

What do you think?

Thanks!
I think it's a redial. Lumed dial and non lumed hands? And strange Omega logo.

Yes, the dial has been refinished.
