Vintage Omega Chronometre - 1940 , Questions

mac_omega

I am not shy to correct my own statements - obviously I have made a mistake myself...

The wrist watch of the OP is pretty small and the case design (lugs) is the same as on the ref. 2144

As the watch has a center second movement encased in the same case style of 2144 it might deserve a different ref.# maybe 2145 or other 214x ?

There is a ref. 2143 in the data base which has the same case and movement as 2144 but does not have chronometre rating and hence no chronometre inscription on the dial.

Only an extract from the archive will shed some light on this topic and hence we would need at least the movement serial#
I am pretty confident that there is no ref.# in the case back, only a case serial.

Let´s wait and see.

Only "30" is stamped. Not sure if that's a serial number but it's certainly not a reference number.

Can you advise where to from here, this is all very daunting as I am not familiar with all the jargon or where to look for this information, I have googled to death but am not finding much. I have been told you are an expert, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Laurel

completely patient, just very confused. I would assume a forum of people in the know would be the first place to glean information for the inexperienced.
