Omega 2410

Not a Chronometer, but a 2410-2 with an interesting dial. It was salmon colored I guess...and have a look at these beautiful 3 and 9 markers 🥰

Bummer though, its missing the bezel around the crystal. Does maybe someone has a spare?

Its not a 2410 then... but a cross-ref. 2423
They came with 17J movements and also the elusive 18J movements - but the latter mostly had black/silver/galvanic dials...
These watches often fool potential buyers because the cases are left over from original stock and Omega obviously was too laszy to ammend the ref-number. Only few were double-numbered with the old 2410 plus the new 2423, see photo below

A spare most likely won´t fit, they are specifically made for just one case. Production tolerances in those days were much too wide. You can´t just swap one bezel to an other watch.
Best solution: have one lathe turned by a skilful watchmaker or jeweller. This bezel is just to ornate, it does not hold the crystal.

Hey Erich, danke für deine Antwort!
But I have a few questions. It clearly says 2410-2 in the caseback, how can it be a 2423 then?
Is 2410 exclusive to chronometers and is there any „proof“ without buying your book 😀

Thanks, Nico

Hi Nico,

it is how I described in my above response. Omega used left over 2410 chronometre cases to create a new ref. which they numbered 2423. The problem which causes confusion in the collectors community is that Omega did not ammend the ref. number 2410, they used just the old cases. Some have been added the new number 2423.
I have seen several (but not many) ref. 2423 where both numbers are present - see example in my above response.
An easy way to distinguish:
A ‘genuine’ 2410 is a chronometre and has a 30 SC T2 Rg movement - this is mandatory!
If you find a 2410 case with a different movement its not a ‘genuine’ 2410 but a 2423 even if it does not show the number 2423.
The 2423 comes in 2 variants:
1) with a 17J movement 283 or 30 SC T2 PC, most I have seen had various "bright" coloured dials. See an example below.
2) with 18J movement cal 30 SC T2 PC, most I have seen had "dark" dials. Black in the centre, bearing "NON MAGNETIC", and a narrow silvered seconds track. See photo
These dials were galvanic sandwich dials (some call them gilt, although this is nonsense as there is no gold colour at all).
I had all of my 2423 verified in the Omega archives. Unfortunately no EoA are available, otherwise it would be easy to verify it yourself.



Nota bene:
There is the same "problem" of confusion with the second SS cross reference pair: 2254 / 2337
You will never find a number 2337 embossed in the case, only 2254 but without the mandatory cal 30 SC T2 Rg which is encased in a "genuine" 2254.
I had also all of my 2337 verified in the Omega archives.
