Help Identifying Vintage Omega watch

gregas3

Can anyone tell me more about this watch? Which year of manufacture etc..
3 dig numbers under the balance spring: 234 s.c.
I got this watch as heritage. You think it's a doctors watch ? Grandpa was a doctor.
I really try hard to find out more about this watch but I can’t find the same watch anywhere on the internet.

Hi Gregas.

It is a pre-war production Omega, the number under the balance spring is the caliber number - the 23.4SC was the first Omega wristwatch movement with central seconds and is named after its size (23.4mm in diameter) as Omega did in that day. A number of watches carrying that movement certainly was marketed toward doctors with the central seconds hand making timing the pulsations easier.

The esteemed member and conniess… connayss… expert of all things pre-war Omega @Tire-comedon shows one similar to yours in this post, the case looks to be the same.

At some point the dial on yours has been restored and new hands have been put on or the old dial had luminous markers in which case the hands could be correct.

A very uncommon and cool watch 😀

Thank you very much for your reply. I was also at the watchmaker, he told me the dial was not painted. Do you think the possibility that the whole watch is original? And how much are these watches worth?
