Hi

This arrived yesterday, an Omega from 1937, cal. T17. A little larger than my other T17's, 22 mm. wide without the crown, and 39 mm. long including the lugs, fits a 18 mm. strap.

I have a little OCD in wanting to know the references on my Omega's

So I have been through AJTT with no luck, an googled 3-4 T17 with identical case but none with a reference number stated.

So if you have an idea of the correct reference number on this one I would appreciate it

Sorry for the crappy pictures (some of them taken in the rain )

 

My memory might be playing tricks on me, but I believe Martin @marturx has a similar watch. He might know the ref.

 

You're right. Identical case, but different dial. I bet Thomas picked this one up in Sweden, as most of his Omega collection

Sadly I don't have the reference. It never mattered to me, I settled with the knowledge it was a T17.

And now I've sold mine too. A couple of weeks ago only

 

No, Denmark this time

 

Possibly a 921?

I think we need Yann to help with this one.

 

Variant of Marine Standard CK 3635 from what I can see.

Check out this interesting article on the history of these models:

Appearance wise from a distance maybe, but I hardly think that's a water resistant case.

 

Not a CK 921, i have one of those. They are smaller and different case form.

Yes I have PM'ed @Tire-comedon he is the expert on those

This the CK921

 

I haven't a clue about the ref. of this watch, but it is a lovely addition for your collection. That CK 921 isn't too shabby either.

 

I knew I had it in one of my catalogs. It took me some time but I found. I suppose it is a ref CK891, here in the 1940 general catalog :

 

There you go. That's the one I had too

 

Looks stunning!

Do you have a wrist shot? Wondering how this one wears..

 

Not sure if this will help, but I have some old catalog scans downloaded from some time back , from a website which I've forgotten! They show various T17's.

 

Thanks! Knew you would have the answer

 

Great! Thanks

 

You're welcome! Full credit and thanks too , to the original person who so kindly scanned in those catalogs.

 

All scans are ones I did from my collection of catalogs and posted here or there. Probably someone gathered them somewhere which is fine since I never took the time to do it. Thanks so to the one who collected them!

 

Beautiful watch. (Amazing how many variants and references they created around the rectangular theme…)

 

Many thanks (as always) to Yann for making available his wonderful collection.
