Help: Omega vintage chronograph from 1940s?

jonnepee · Mar 4, 2020

Hi,

Need some help and information about vintage chronograph:

- I found that movement is 27 CHRO T1 (pre 320?) because there is no 320 markings?
- caseback has 2463 markings
- serial number is 10.xxx.xxx
- case diameter is 34.5mm without crown
- Dial is old and has lot of patina.
- No Omega logo on crown
- movement has no service history and need to service. All functions are working correctly.

Hard to find any information so nice if someone can tell something about that watch.

Is everything ok with the watch?

Thanks!

Here some pictures:

This seems to be an advertisement to me. Please read the forum rules.

If you sell this watch elsewhere, I would offer $100 if you promise you won't tell it to my wife.

Sure does. The OP has everything he needs to check the sold listings on eBay, to determine value.

Y’all are such cynics and skeptics 😁😉

I can easily do $230, about my limit of on these.

Guys, this isn't very nice of you. I would offer, out of mercy, and because I feel very generous today, the tremendous amount of 5 Kopecks.

TexOmega · Mar 4, 2020

But, that’s about....what? Thirty bucks?

Sorry, new in the forum and first post. Maybe something went wrong.
Seems to be nice welcome 😀
Just asking if everything is ok with the watch and if somebody knows about that model.

Just a bit of fun

other than the dirty dial, you have very desirable chronograph.
It has a cal 320 movement which appears in very good but very dirty plus water has invaded at some point.

now, esthetic condition and a working movement is about 80-90 % the value of most watches.

so, it is very important you find a great watchmaker with great experience and let him decide if the dial has just surface dirt which can be gently cleaned OR stained which cannot be removed without loosing bits of printing.

such a WM better know his way around these cal 320 movements in case a part or two needs sourcing or he has a relationship with a WM who builds parts from scratch( custom).

I hope both the dirt and movement can be addressed in your favor, easily.

post high Rez up close pix when you can for more studious replies to follow.

Thanks TexOmega! Good information 😀

I'm going to show this to Omega watchmaker and let's see what he is thinking. And movement is this cal320 but this 320 text came there somewhere 50s. That's what I found from google 😀

I have several vintage Omega watches now. Some has cal321 movement and some are cal565 automatic.

I will post some pictures later. Just founded there is also a vintage photography topic. Photographing is also my hobby so I can connect these two together 😀

Here is one photo from this 2463 model.

Nice forum and lot of cool topics here to read.
