Not in Omega's database? Little wonder it's so odd.
I guess I'll have to check with Omega.

I'd never heard of this reference until today, when one of my pals asked me about it. Case size is 36 mm, movement is a 30T2SC (copper finish, no shock absorption).
I'm stumped. Does anyone have this reference in their collection?
Thanks,
Art
Art,
here is a picture from an old catalogue from the Omega museum with some specs regarding bezel opening and movement...
Art, can you please re-meassure the diameter and confirm that it might be 36mm?
From the proportion movement versus case it looks more like the larger case diameter 37,5 mm which was often used...
the problem that we could not comment on the ref.# was firstly of the wrongly read 2326
secondly on most of these very early 30 T2 SC watches you can find only a case serial number instead of a case (model) number (often called ref.#). So you will not know until you order an extract from the archives - and not many collectors do this on these early pieces because they are not so prone for fakes/marriages like for example a SM 300 or similar highly priced watches.
I have at least 2 watches with the same case design and 37,5 mm diameter, but unfortunately no photos to share yet - maybe I can take some in the next few days when the natural light environment is good.

Ps the back of lug shap looked familiar .. .sorry i could not help with the case ref.. but I knew it was a legit case and movement combo if that helped...
Art,
I have taken photos of my ref. 2325-3 and a 2325 without ref# (which I am convinced it is also a 2325) for you to compare:
still a project - needs correct lumed hands but they are very hard to find in the right length for this large dial...
and needs a longer second hand too...
The movement has already shock protection.
The second example I have has only the case serial number and no shock protection, serial number is lower, hence no ref.# on these earlier examples. I think this is the reason why they fly under the radar concerning the ref# knowledge... you would only know if you pulled an extract.
I have removed the bezel/crystal for better photo results - crystal is crazed...
kind regards
Erich
