My oldest by far, Omega or not. Now on its second century...and still keeping excellent time.



And a few more early advertisements...

This would be about 1938.


Beautiful model 805. One of my favotites from this period.

This is not a wrist watch, but it qualifies as an early Omega. I believe it to be from prior to 1910. Louis Brandt was the founder of the company that became Omega, early in the 20th century, when Brandt’s sons re-named the company. Omega was in business when this Louis Brandt & freres, 19-jewel, grade CCR model for railroad use was made. I have two of these, but this is the nicer of the two. Early in the 20th century, Brandt, Omega, Zenith, and Longines produced watches that were approved for use on Canadian railways.

I like the service history as much as the watch 😀
He seems to have found a watchmaker he likes!
No small feat.

1940's CK 2320. Posted to WRUW last week - this one gets a ton of wrist time and is still incredibly accurate for what it is. Love this watch.

Black dials not easy to photograph so I usually take the glass off for best results

It’s is 26.5 sob and 37.5mm from 1938

These are my oldest, the black no-lume is a little lower movement number, but both fall into the 1915-1920 range. Both are a little over 35MM

My first, and oldest Omega. 1943 HS8 inherited from my Grandad who served in the Fleet Air Arm.
