Omega

I have the pleasure to introduce you a very important watch for me, the Omega CK 2914 for the Pakistan Air Force. Important, not only for me, as the Railmaster is historically one of the very first " top " amagnetic watch, Rolex being the first with the M...  

Yes, we share the passion for the 2914 and the Amagnetic theme, my friend! Interesting to see the broad arrow hour hand on this 2914-5. Already on the normal/civilian 2914-3 they changed to the Dauphin hands. Best Blomman

Can't really say much about Omega but posts like yours will certainly change that. Thanks and best regards, kolosstt

As you know, I am totally in your camp: 2914 P.A.F., what a rare and nice beauty. One of those watches that you need to hold in your hands to fully appreciate it. Best, HSTE

Thank you, Nicolas.

I would love to see your set up when you are taking these watch pics Time to dig out some of my vintage watches from the back of the safe perhaps

Thanks for sharing

a very simple appearance can hide many meaningful details and a rich history.

I saw the photo and jumped straight onto the text thinking Omega had re-issued this little marvel. I wish they would do it! It would sell so well! Imagine this dial with a movement similar to the one in the CK 859, obviously slightly tweaked to remove the... 

Interesting Omega’s the PAF ordered a longtime ago. Anti magnetic watches at their first heirloom. The last days i went into military watches ww2 and Breitling Pluton Navitimers and Breitling Aerospace for the Iraq air force. I know Breitling did for the ... 

I have some reading to do ;-)

Thanks for the ‘deep dive’ on this-always learning! David
