Omegaaddicted
·Part I :
I. Introduction :
It's an Omega watch from around 1954, in solid 18k rose gold, with original blued steel Synchrobeat-style seconds hand which seems quite rare. It measures 33.5mm in diameter without the crown, it has nice faceted lugs and a caliber 420 movement.
The case back has the french-style Omega logo engraved and “JP” for Jules Person a French case maker, on its inside.
The bracelet buckle is also solid 18k rose gold and engraved with the Omega logo on its outside. Typical of french buckle from 1940 to 1960 at least.
II. For now, only 3 known models:
1) Mine :
- Serials :
Caliber serial number n°14079230.
Case serial number n°11220194.
- Photos :
- 2nd shooting :
2) NOS watchmaker Paris - CharlyHorloger ( https://www.horloger-charly-paris.fr/ / https://www.instagram.com/charlyhorloger/ you can find pictures of this model on its instagram ) :
Photos :
3) Not-NOS from the same watchmaker Paris - CharlyHorloger (same) :
No further informations. He told me this by messages.
III. The seconds hand :
It looks identical to the seconds hand of Synchrobeat watches. I think that it is the only blued steel hand with an arrowhead for Omega watches of that era.
Focus on the blued steel hand of my mysterious watch :
Photos of Synchrobeat and documentation :
Text inside : "The 720 pieces that had already been exported were rapidly taken off the market and returned to Bienne where the cases were melted down and the parts reused".
Text at the botom : “ This item is offered by Hess Fine Auctions item and business located in the USA item is in Florida”.
Others photographies from the internet :
Comparaison of mine vs internet :
Comparaison of Charly's vs Synchrobeat advertising
