    "Omega
    Non Chronometer certified"
    They say failure makes you what you are... Maybe this dial was made to commemorate the saying ?

    It says non magnetic, not non certified

    Thanks, but I can actually read. It was a joke around the "this watch is non-something". Sorry if it wasn't funny, it is French humour.

    I think the "Non Magnetic" is about the only valid thing on this dial.

    Should be a center-second? The sub-dial would, of course, never be designed like that.

    Seriously?

    It's not even an Omega, it's a Longines Calatrava Military.

    Odd though, I've never seen one of these without the pheon.

    And it will be really really hard to time anything with the outer seconds track and sub-dial seconds hand. ::puke::

    Tony,

    you and Mike @MSNWatch are right, should be center second - however it is a dial of a "Techron" - Omega Ref. 2242 which usually houses a center second 18J 30 T2 SC...

    Somebody just drilled a small hole for the pinion of the seconds´ wheel to be able to use it for a subsecond movement 30 T2
    It is a pity as the dial is ruined...
