Love the shape on that one! Best Blomman
Golden ratio rectangles . . .

Nice to have been there ...
By: AndrewD : September 30th, 2010-16:15
Hi Art, Looks great on your wrist; a long wait coming back from the watchmaker. It was exciting to be there when you found this at the "Vintage Omega Shop". You should post a more detailed thread on the Omega Forum. I think I have a couple more photos to ...
What a dapper watch!

Thanks, Chung! I've been enjoying . . .

. . . the experience so far this week. There's another late '40s vintage Omega equipped with the successor movement (a cal 302 vs the R17.8 in this watch) that I'm hoping to add to my collection someday . . . cordially, Art
Very nice, Art
By: jporos : October 1st, 2010-14:29
Has that Art Moderne aesthetic. Congrats on your new acquisition!
Thanks all, gentlemen . . .
By: Dr No : October 2nd, 2010-10:56
. . . I hope to get off a few quality snaps this evening, and will be posting on the Omega forum. It might need to be returned to the watchmaker for regulation as it's running a tad slow. LIke -1 minute per day :-( . . .
Stunning, Eric! ;)

I think we are chewing on the same bone..! But when you have found your cal 42 Karree, maybe it’s time to dive into the Reverso abyss?! Don’t know if you read this post, also one of my first here; The reversible beauty of the Reverso sizes... Best Blomman...
Don't think so, blomman . . .
By: Dr No : October 2nd, 2010-11:06
. . . once the G O collection is complete, there's room for one more modern piece in my collection, and it will be a tool / sports / utility watch. Leaning towards a modern Omega, possibly a Grand Seiko.

The screws hold the dial in place
By: Ginger : October 1st, 2010-11:00
Apparently the first ones had standard dial brackets, but the movement of the lunette in setting the alarm (I spoke inexactly when I said the alarm was set by the bezel) sometimes caused the dial to slip. This according to Horlbeck's treatise, the Alarm W...
Ginger, you are the Queen of the alarm watches! :)

By: anaesdoc : October 1st, 2010-13:34
Dear fellow purists, this vintage Omega I value more and more, although I initially (after having purchased it) put it in the watch box where it lead a sad life. But this watch definitely comes to life when worn at daylight. It has a lovely patina and IMO...
