Guys can you tell me if a Cal 354 17 jewel movement would have been in a chronometer watch circa 1952 / 1954
Movement serial number is 13911150 so I believe around that time period

All help appreciated

Cheers Tony

 

Based on some quick research these did come with chronometer ratings during that time period.

It should say "Adjusted five (5) positions and temperatures" on the rotor.

 

It was used in Constellations http://naligazone.com/index.php/data-watch/omega/13-watch/omega/347

 

Also found in the uncommon Seamaster chronometers. This one of mine has a 354 ticking inside...

 

Another 354 Seamaster chronometer. This one is case ref. 2767-5 SC and dates to c. 1955.

 

354 Chronometer here too. Serial number in the 1397XXXX range

 

I'm looking more at these 50s Omegas - interesting cases and dials.

Here's my only 354 chronometer (Seamaster) - pre service.

Cheers, Chris

 

Thanks guys it appears you all have the same watch I just acquired ,lol so not so rare as I first thought .
Big thanks though cheers Tony

 

thanks Steve I think I bought it pretty cheap less than £500 what do you think?

 

Chronometre 354 Seamasters galore. When will we see a picture of yours @Fattony ? That is what questions here cost... Pics.

 

...No one is able to tell whether or not it was a good deal without seeing the watch.






Hint, hint!

 

In fact, we all have different watches but as this is a forum for Omegas, you'd expect someone here to have one like yours.

As the guys say, pictures are needed, material and size (size might be important here...). Your watch could be worth half to ten times the amount you paid.

Cheers, Chris

 

Sorry guys ,obviously I have an inferiority complex surrounded by such stunning examples ,please be gentle with this unworthy specimen

 

Looks like a redial to me.

 

Those green lume dots don't look good on any vintage watch
The S in Seamaster is another tell.

 

Ouch...is that case cracked at 3?

 

Now you see why the photos were delayed ☹ I missed the green dots when I bought it ! Still we live and learn
