    Made by Louis Brandt and Freer. I Found some numbers on it. But I have never seen anything like it. I've been searching for any info for years. To no avail. Can anybody help me? 20171216_111950.jpg 20171216_113302.jpg 20171216_113251.jpg 20171216_113302.jpg 20171216_112950.jpg 20171216_113042.jpg 20171216_112930.jpg 20171216_113049.jpg 20171216_113031.jpg 20171216_113119.jpg 20171216_112042.jpg

    Looks like a ships clock. Mechanism is gimballed to stay level in heavy weather.

    It looks like a marine chronometer, hence the gimbals and the heavy screw-in casebook. I'm guessing it comes in the wooden box pictured in the background, but most of them are adjusted to more than 2 positions

    You posted this watch in August 2017. Please see the following:

    https://omegaforums.net/threads/antique-omega-ship-desk-cronometer.61802/

    … and therefore the same comments apply. So it's not really correct to say that "I've been searching for any info for years. To no avail."

    Your watch is a Calibre 27’’’ and I guess dates about 1910. The Omega reference is 125.27. The movement was probably produced as an ‘automobile’ version and the gimballing and casing locally-produced later.
