Omega movement numbers

Hi Larry

as you can see from the scan of page 181 of "Omega Saga" below, 30T2Rg is one of the many calibers from the 30mm family. Some members of this family still in production in 1949, or for which replacement parts were still being made, had a renaming in 1949.

The Rg sufficx meant "reguliert" i.e. adjust to ... positions - chronometric caliber. PC meant parachoc, SC meant "second central" , AM for "amagnetic" and so on.

Some o the very early - 1939 - calibers were certified at Omega as chronometres without being Rg.

The fact that in the web and especially on eBay many of these are classified as chronometres or Rg - is only because sellers think they can attract a better price if they pretend that are of the same nature.

Ciao
Franco

Hi Larry good to see you here. This is indeed one of the three dials made especially for the Japanese market : Only 100 of the Anniversary series were produced for the normal markets, each composed of three watches: one in pink, one in yellow gold with cl...

It is neither steel nor white gold - it is platinum.

Franco, can you define the 30T2rg nomenclature?

By: Larry Seiden : October 28th, 2010-15:55

Hi Franco, Thanks for the answer. I see the term 30T2rg thrown around for many different vintage Omegas. Which calibres are truly 30T2rg? Thanks, Larry PS: Do you any idea where I might find the original box and papers for the watch?

Larry, That is a cal. 269

Not a 30T2Rg which is also known as a cal. 262 The Rg center channel version or 30T2SCRg is a cal. 281

came packed in. It only holds the one watch. In addition to the sets of three, the PG (including mine) was produced in an additional quantity (500? 1000?). I don't now how many. I also feel that I have seen at least one other dial variation, but cannot lo...
