1940s Military Style Omega Sold as Spares or Repairs

Omega watches have a rich and illustrious history that spans over 170 years. Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega quickly established itself as a leading watch manufacturer. In 1894, they introduced the world's first mass-produced wristwatch calibre, the Omega 19-Ligne. This innovation marked a turning point for the company and solidified its reputation for precision and quality.

What's on Offer

Here is a very nice-looking military-style Omega approximately dating to 1940. As stated in the title it is unfortunately not working and we are selling it as a repair project or donor for parts. The watch contains the Omega calibre 265 manual wind complete movement. The cause of the issue is unknown to us and it may just require a service to get it working again. In terms of the condition of the case, it is in very good condition considering its age and only displays light scratching. The dial has become patined over time which adds a nice vintage touch in our eyes but may be better suited to a new dial to someone else. These circumstances are reflected in the price and we think this would be a great project for someone who has the time. If you have any questions regarding this watch please feel free to get in touch.
