·Hello everyone,
I am appealing to the knowledge of the forum for some information on this Omega with double "Chronometre" inscription.
From the case hallmarks and the 'Fab. Suisse' instead of the usual 'Swiss Made' at 6 o'clock, it is clear that the watch was intended for the French market.
But how to explain this double inscription 'Chronometre'?
The watch comes with the original period warranty (sold in 1955) and the official chronometre bulletin (1952) and appears to be original in every part (including the dial).
This is the first time I have encountered such a double inscription. Usually Omegas of the same French era had the single inscription at the bottom , 'Chronometre Officially Certified'.
Here is a photo of the dial in question.
Thank you very much to those who can provide some information.
Cheers,
Ilio
