Hi everyone,

I just impulsively bought this watch automatic (18kt gold, 1950-60s)

Yet, i'm not sure it is a real one ; I can't find anything similar on the net .

Could someone help me?

Many many thanks

 

More photos please, case back, inside and out and movement.

I don't know how to remove the back to see the mechanism . (If someone know how we do i would be really grateful)

The movement is mechanic, there is a 18k written on the back.

The chronometer works well (top button to start and stop) and the bottom button to reset the chronometer .

Thank you for replying so quick

 

Hope it's a better one

 

if its real Omega Chronograph Reference 2872

 

Case back marked like this is not an Omega case, not a good sign, dial markings are typical of any number of generic 40s/50s budget chronographs. I'd be surprised to find an Omega movement inside.

 

Thank you,

I will go tomorrow to a shop to remove the cover

 

I thought Omega never printed "anitmagnetic" on any of their dials?

 

French market case? Any external hallmarks on the case?

 

Yes, better photos needed, but I do not like the (crude) look of the numbers on the sub-dials.

 

South American?

 

+1

 

There are some older dials marked "Non-Magnetic".

 

Automatic? As in, it winds itself? I’d be very surprised, but I suppose it could be.

 

Ditto. And I don't think they put the jewel count on the dial, may be wrong about that though.

I can't really see much Omega DNA there.

 

Not a French cased Omega for sure. Rather a South American or any other non Swiss case without real identity...

I agree it does not look promising!

 

Not a 2872 with those pointy lugs.
Lugs should look like this.

 

I feel like the Omega logo is really not printed right. Especially the spacing between the M & E in Omega seems bizarre?

 

Isnt this just a version of a Chronographe Suisse with Omega printed on the dial?
