Hello I recently came into possession of this 8 day Omega clock and need some help in its identification etc. Was this clock used in cars as a dash clock or some other use. What year was it made. I am keen to get the clock refurbished and any help would be appreciated I live near Melbourne Australia.
Welcome Greg, If the case is aluminium it would be an aircraft clock which was mounted in the instrument panel but as I can'r see any shock mounts I think it's a car clock. I've found a very similar item in my bible. As soon as my camera is charged I'll post more information. That would make a nice desk clock mounted on a slab of red gum. For restoration I would try Ferntree Gully Clocks http://www.ftgwatch.com.au/index.html Cheers Jim
No. A clean with a spirit soaked rag to remove grease, oil, crud etc and maybe a very light polish with a silver cloth. A "brand new" case with an aged dial and hands would look pretty, but it isn't how a nicely aged vintage timepiece should look. Will need to see pics when it's finished.
