I believe it is a R17.8SC caliber in a press in case, but what year is it from. And this is the only example I have found with this type of case.
Anybody knows if it is a legitimate WWII watch?

Thanks

1940s from the case serial. But if you want more accuracy, post the movement serial.

Looks like a Ref. 2327. Not sure what is meant by “legitimate WWII watch”. It was probably made during the war years, but I do not believe it was an issued watch.

Thread 'Omega serial numbers on watches' ·

Hi all. Quick question. Does all Omega watches have serial number engraved on it? I couldn't find a serial number on one of my seamaster. It's neither on the back side or is it on the lug. Could...
