·Hallo friends, some thoughts:
- Omega is the last letter in the Greek Alphabet.
- The historic manufacturing site of Omega is in Biel/Biene at the German/French language border in Switzerland.
- Allmost the whole Swiss watch craftsmen and industry speak traditionally French due to the origin in protestant French refugees to the western Switzerland. The exception is IWC, an Amercan foundation in the German speaking Schaffhausen.
- The language on Omega dials is English! One little exception: the gold mark 'OM' is the French 'Or Massiv'.
= On dials of older mostly 'De Luxe' Constellations I observe a mix: the French 'Chronometre' and the English 'Officially Certified'.
=> Is this fake or authentic?
I show two exemples (copied from the net).
I saw many but those with the 'crossed t' I assume as fakes.
Greetings Konrad
