WWII Dated Omega

M Military Buff

Well it would appear to have the classic hallmarks of the British army ATP’s issued of the time. Small watch with sub seconds and luminous hands and numbers. Any opinions most welcome.

Good afternoon Fellas,

New member here and avid collector of WWII timepieces.
I’ve recently added this lovely Omega to sit alongside my ATP watches, no obvious markings but surely the dial says it would have a military connection?
Any information would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Chris, very interesting. This particular watch was first sold pre internet and sadly there is no history attached to it.
To my untrained eye it just had all the elements of the British Military watches of the time. Plus the numbers are slightly different to the ones in the thread, definitely more ATP in style with the lume.

That’s another nice example, have you been tempted to contact Omega archives for any info they may have?
