Unknown 1920s reference looking for hands and crown

alalalalongines · Sep 3, 2023

Dear fellow members

I just bought this beautiful silver Omega with a 23.7 calibre. However it is missing its minutes and seconds hands and a crown.

What crown shape would fit this modell and how long are the hands? Are they just touching the railroad minute track or crossing over? If touching, where are they touching the track? at 12 o clock or 11 o clock? The same question i have with the seconds hand.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Can you share the case and caliber serials ? It could help me search my catalogs…

The closest match I could find, from a 1925 catalog, it may help for the crown shape and the hands length.

I couldn't find a single model with square or rectangle seconds sub-dial in the same catalog but the ones I saw in a 1927 catalog had the seconds hand with the same shape as above, touching the outer circle of the subdial at 12. I suppose it should be the same for your watch.
