I recently redisscovered my late mothers artefact of the rear case from an Omega watch, Which she told me 60 odd years ago was found up on the Lomonds hills here in central Scotland shortly after a German aircraft crasjed into the hill, Rosyth dockyard and the Forth Bridge being only about 15 miles away as thecrow flies, I.ve just taken pictures of both the inside and the outside as there are Letters / Numbers engraved on the outside, Can anyone shed light on this watch, ??

Photo of the dial?
Based on the wording of the OP, I'm not sure they have anything besides the caseback.

Ah, sorry, my apologies. I was intrigued with the case back and was hoping that it was attached to more! 🙁

Sorry thats it, my late mother told me 60 odd years ago that it was found on top of a 1716 foot high hill here in central Scotland after a plane crash pressumed German probably in the 1940's

Not German, British. Interesting how stories get distorted over the years.

Not to hijack the OP's question, but I think I remember reading somewhere that Omega claimed it only supplied watches to Allied forces in World War 2, or, more specifically, that it did not supply any Axis forces. Does that strike a bell with anyone, or am I hallucinating? (I know zilch about Luftwaffe horology.)

I have discovered it is from the 1940's and probably RAF.
