    This one came last week, had to get a crystal made for it and picked it up today.

    Ref. CK 901
    Cal. T17
    From 1939
    25 mm X 39 mm. ex. crown

    It came on and very old Omega strap and buckle. I dont recall have seen this type of strap with a keeper of that type before. Could it have been the original strap?

    Next will be to find a correct style crown, and get a service (it works but is dirty) :)

    Your strap look very identical to the one in ad: grain, stitches & shape ... so I think it is original strap.

    Correct, 60 hours power reserve, the longest on a Omega until caliber 8500 in 2006 :)

    I think the strap is an old replacement, the original would have been a much better fit, even with age shrinkage.

    A new crown and that will look beautiful.
