·Interesting ad, it should carry a bit of fine print saying “Switzerland and Omega also made a huge amount of money supplying the Nazis with watches as well”… 😉

·I am only interested in the artistry as I have the 6b pictured as a bit of advertising, I have learned it was an advert in the BHI magazine in 1946 so I’ll be keeping a lookout for a copy.

·Your best bet is to look on eBay and see if someone is selling an advert pulled from a magazine - people do collect these. I had a Speedmaster ad framed in my office. Some sellers have taken scans of popular ones and blown them up to a larger size.

·A lot of German requirements during WWII (watches, etc.) were supplied by German manufactures. Wasn’t Switzerland neutral?

It was an occasional purchase, followed by a correspondence exchange with Konrad Knirim and the Omega archive after I received the extract.

I was not able to do a thorough research of this watch as I had little time to make a decision. I appreciate the research you have have provided. I am applying for an Extract of the Archives for this watch and hope I can provide additional information to share with the Forum. Can you site any books that reference your research or is this information a collaboration of watch experts, or both?
