Hello.

Can anyone please help me identifying this watch? The seller says it is a Omega Military from 1939, but i can't find any info, anywhere. Any information about this watch is appreciated 馃榾

Cheers.

It doesn't look like a military watch to me. As far as I know military watches always had ID marks stamped into the back. UK watches always had a broad arrow mark, issue numbers etc. The dials were usually, but not always, black with luminous hands and markings. The numbers were always Arabic, not roman. The watch you have looks like a repainted dial and I would be very dubious of someone who told me it was a military watch without any more info or more pictures of the back.

Thank you for the answer. I had the same doubt about the military part. My guess for the model is a cal. 30 T2 with roman. I am still trying to find out the Excact model but this is close in my opinion. I appreciate your answer 馃榾

That dial is redone for sure. You will not find a similar original dial.

One of the smaller cases too by the looks, not worth much at all

In most cases, a military issued watch will have a central mounted seconds hand, too. This one has a redone dial and no provenance, but isn't unattractive.
