Darren's passion for the Omega 30T2Rg movement, showcased through his personal timepiece and a custom clear caseback, invites the WatchProSite community to share their own examples. This thread delves into the nuances of collecting these historically significant Omega chronometers, highlighting the importance of case and movement originality.

I had Jack create a clear caseback for this one so that I could enjoy the movement (preserving the original of course).
I'd love to see others - newer dials, older dials, NOS dials, doesn't matter. Let's see them!

Some naughty boys call it also "Frankenwatch" - a little respectless as I feel. This happend often because there were movements left from the time when the goldcases were scrapped due to the high
... a quick look at the Omega Vintage Database for Ref. 2364 has the following information: - Other - Gents' leather strap Reference CK 2364 International collection 1943 Movement Type: Manual winding (chronometer) Caliber number: 30 T2 RG Created in 1943 17 jewels Functions Subsecond Case Stainless steel Case back Press-in Full metal Dial Not available Crystal Hesalite Bracelet Leather Water resistance No More product information Case : round (33 mm diameter) For leather straps of 17 mm lug-siz
and while I realize caseback shown is not the original, it is a screw-back. The chronometre case should have a snap back.
