I just picked up this rather nice early chrono and suddenly noticed the rope logo on the dial. D Does anyone know whether it is significant and/ or what it means?
As seen here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/compax-w-fishermans-knot-logo.31747/ The logo on a Zenith here: https://watchesbysjx.com/2017/04/a-...guing-from-phillips-geneva-watch-auction.html
That was my first thought, naval and/or military, but I thought there might be a bit more documentation/certainty on this.
Yes, thats the one! I got it with an equally beautiful IWC. Not sure why there IS a Universal, Zenith & PP forum (and the obligatory Rolex one) but nothing for IWC?
My guess is a logo for either a retailer or a company presentation. Is there any engraving on the back of the watch? gatorcpa
No. I cant imagine any company having that generic a logo in the 1920s?? Thank you for the compliment, by the way, if anyone is interested, it is 39mm!
its called a savoy knot, you can search the UG forum and get some hits, here's a quote from @MMMD ......per our sage UG forum founder, the "Savoy Knot" is just a UG trademark of the '20s-'30s.
I confirm,Savoy Knot, a legend says that this marks are for the Italian Marine's officials chronographs up till the beginning of the WW2...
Perret & Berthoud SA before they became Universal. mikrolisk.de. search knot perhaps they were into hemp byproducts
