Hi everyone I'm new member here but I have been enjoying reading the threads as a guest. I have purchased my first few Omega watches the last few months. The first watch I purchased was the Naiad/Medicus in non working order. Multiple watch repair shops said it was in bad shape mechanically with no main spring and broken jewels. I luckily found some one willingly to take on the task of repairing it. The earliest service date he could see on the case back was in 1940. The watch crown and crystal are not original. I was hoping you guys had more information about the watch since Im new to this. As far as I learned from the internet the watch is from the late 30's or early 40's and is a medicus/naiad. I think the OXG on the movement means it was imported to the USA and its a 23.4sc movement? Please correct me if I'm wrong and if you have more information please help me out. Thank you Inside Case Back #26 Lug #26 Movement #8932160 Outside Case Back #9750842
Nice, congrats! There is a couple of experts on them here, @Tire-comedon have helped me on mine. Mine says hello
Hi, You're right, the case looks like a 2064, dial seems original and quite well preserved (are there some restoration signs on the figures or is it a distortion due to the Crystal?). NOw what surprises me is the gols bezel. First time I see one (and in fact first time I see a bezel on this model, all the ones I know look like tdn-dk's one.
Wow tdn-dk that is an amazing Medicus! Tire-comedon I think the crystal distorted the view because in person it doesn't look restored, as far as I know. The bezel looks like they coated it with another material just on the top. I'm not sure why my bezel is different? Thanks for your input guys!! I now have the omega bug!!
My Naiad would like to join the party! It's a 9 mil. serial circa '41 CK2111 with a cal. 23.4 T1 inside: Here's a better view for seeing case and crown:
Wow!! Super interesting Omegas. I have no idea what they are? I'm too lazy to Google...For the neophyte, what does Naiad stand for? Thanks in advance!
You're lucky I'm not so lazy: https://www.google.com/search?q=naiad A name for an ancient Greek water nymph. So it's easy to see why Omega used it as a trade name for an early water-resistant watch case design. gatorcpa
