Omega

How pretty is this? An Omega 2165A Civil Service (India) c. 1943.

I think watches made during WWII are interesting…

Also must be interesting how Swiss watch “customer base” changed from 1936-1946. 🧐🤨🥸

I like it a lot. Just one question: Is the dial all original or redone?

Yes, it may be a re-dial, although it has some ageing. My interest, however, is in its design, which I find elegant and attractive.

I agree with you. Very appealing.

Here could be a better (i.e. genuine) example, although I'm not certain, because the 5 & 7 indices look eccentric. My liking of its design remains, nonetheless. (And, without being retro, I wish modern Omegas were more interesting,)

...

That would be an original dial. Ref 2165 is not often seen . . .

. . . and houses a cal 26.5 movement, designed years before Omega's cal 30. Cordially, Art

Wow

I love that.

It is always nice to see a vintage watch in good condition, that means the owner take good care of the watch.
