Requesting help with (vintage?) Omega Chronometre.

Hi all,

I have a likely-vintage Omega Chronometre that came through my office today at an estate sale company. I'm hoping you all can help me identify, appraise, and date it. Is it possibly gold?

Sadly, I can't provide much information about its origin -- it was from an estate in northern Illinois, USA, and we're likely going to sell it. I don't know how long we've had it or how long the original owner had it, when it was last serviced, or anything else, really.

Basically, I know it's an "Omega Chronometre". That's it. Does anyone know a model number, or maybe other information? Manufacture year, etc? Anything else relevant that I could Google up?

Are there any egregious flaws that watch collectors look for that I might have overlooked? I see the wear on the face and the typical scuffs in the metal, etc. Is there anything else notable? It seems to wind just fine, and it still ticks when I gently squeeze it and hold it upside down -- but it's not functioning as-intended.

Do I need to open the case to identify it further? I tried (oh, how I tried) to get it open -- my search results actually led me to this forum, where everyone says to take it to a real watch repair place (and not the kiosk at the mall), and also not to jam a screwdriver in it. I'll note that you guys almost certainly prevented me from scraping it up -- so whether or not I get it opened, it won't be scraped up (any more than it is already).


Thanks for your help in advance.

Looks to be an 14k Omega Chronometre with what should be a 30T2-RG movement from circa 1944. I have it's steel brother (see pic below), based on the proportions alone as no measurements have been given I would assume this is a reference 2364. Would be good to see some caseback photos and movement photos. With these we can then ascertain whether a service should be enough to get it working properly again? If you want to sell it I am interested 😀 Overall in my opinion it appears to be in pretty good shape cosmetically.

It looks to be a nice gold manual wound chronometer from the 1950s, probable with the desirable 30T2Rg movement inside. It’s probably worth $2-3,000 depending on the condition of the movement. If you get a watchmaker to open the case, you’ll be able to see the model number on the inside of the caseback along with the gold rating. The movement number will enable you to tell the approximate year of manufacture, and it should say 30T2Rg under the balance wheel

The sub-second hand may not be original but rest of what's shown looks good.
Take it to a watchmaker and get it opened. My guess is it's a ref 2364.
Nice find!

Omega ref. 2364, almost certainly a 30T2Rg inside, original crown and hands, 33 mm diameter, bracelet can be sold for the weight of gold.
