What‘s the typical magnification of a giveaway watchmaker‘s loupe?

Hello fellow purists. I‘ve got quite a few giveaway watchmaker loupes by Patek, JLC and others and they all seem to have the same magnification, but none are stating the magnification on the loupe. What is it typically? x2 ?

Thx, don‘t own an Omega one, so can‘t compare

I got a 2x which I found disappointing. 6x would have been better

I thought so, too. Found an interesting set with a x3 and a x6, but it‘s only interesting, if the ome‘s i have are x2 not x3

Is there a standard for magnification amount? (nt)
