Hi everyone.

Just wanted to share my recent purchase and would like to know if You came accross Omega with this dial before (not pocket watch).

30T2

37.5mm slim case

Enjoy

 

The Omega symbol is the newer style not the pinched version, but I wouldn't turn it down.

Any pictures inside?

 

I would say that's an original dial.

Cools hands!

 

Love the hands, too.

 

Will post more photos soon. It is def original dial. Movement of 94xxxxx series

 

Yes dial definitely looks original. The hands are called 'pontife' in French.

 

Nice pick up. 101% original dial, haven't seen one like this for a while

 

It took while but some more pictures added. It came with that box. Is it correct for the period ??

 

Great dials! I was just pointed to this discussion by a member of another forum because I was asking about a vintage Omega my grandfather left to me. Before my watch, I had never seen these hands on an Omega; it's really nice and timely to see this thread! I've been told from a couple of people that mine is between 1940-44. Additionally, for context, my watch is only 32mm w/o crown / 35mm with crown.

*Edit: after posting, it's much more apparent the "fuzziness" of my photo. My apologies!

 

Hi,
Nice watch. Is it a 30SC, 23.4SC or R17.8SC?

 

I thought I'd revive this thread, since I found the pocket watch on the page in the OP's post.

 

Definitely worth the revival, what a piece! The circular motif is fantastic.

 

Thought you might be interested in this pair.

 

As a very uninformed admirer of Omega, I am curious about the originality of these two dials. In the examples shown previously in this thread, the Roman numerals of the pocket watch are touching the outer minute track. More pertinently, the application of the ink looks very thick, embossed even. The ink also has a glossy character and the tones of the dial appear quite flat. They lack the metallic character of the watches above.

Edit. I have found these two watches in previous threads and confirmed my suspicions. Though these dials have been restored to a high level, I still prefer the precision and character of the originals.

 

Yes, although I think they were relatively well done, I also believe them to be restored. More than likely by the same individual.

 

Both the wrist watch and pocket watch were fully restored by Omega Switzerland based on their original records. As can be seen from the attached picture of the pocket watch, the Roman numerals are placed as they were originally and in the original style. If you look at X1, X11 and 1 of the original they too appear to be embossed as they have caught the light. You will also appreciate lighting affects appearance with indoor lighting generating a much warmer appearance.

 

I appreciate the response and concur on all accounts. The resemblance between the original dial and the restored dial is strong with its separated numerals, 'embossed' ink, and all. An impressive and faithful job no doubt.

 

I agree. Omega did a fantastic job.

 

Fantastic dial. I am trying to restore 1947 omega 37.5T1 with a similar dial...
Do you know how difficult is to obtain a Pontife set of hands?
