The Rail would be my Master of choice, too, Nicolas . . .
. . . and has been ever since I started collecting Omega. Interestingly enough, one came up earlier this year on eBay; circumstances, as usual, got in the way. Values have skyrocketed recently, so my expectations of acquiring one are low.
My affection for the Rail is such that I'd be just as satisfied with a third generation model when that eventuality comes to pass. My understanding was that it would be released this year. Perhaps there will be a late debut, or maybe there was so much on Omega's plate already this year that it's been pushed back 'til next.
A PAF is as special as it gets; you've done well, my friend.

Seamaster Railmaster, the review on the Omega Pakistani CK 2914.
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...
Thank you for a great report, Nicolas!
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
Fantastic work
Can't really say much about Omega but posts like yours will certainly change that. Thanks and best regards, kolosstt
Freak, only had a chance to read this one now, thanks for this great post!
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

Even the 165s are getting costly. They used to be fairly easy . . .
. . . to find; no longer, I'm afraid. I'm also interested in the deep blues, SHOMs, and manual winding 120s (ref 135.027), one of which appeared locally earlier this year (and at a reasonable price, too), but as usual, circumstances didn't permit. One of ...
No, I am speaking about that one, which is pretty rare...
But far from being prohibitive in terms of cost. ...
This is a truly interesting, fascinating post!
And a great watch! Not hard to understand your affection for the piece. Sadly I feel that we will no longer have significant military pieces going forward - these days it simply does not work that way anymore. So two more amagnetic ones to pure bliss then...
Great watch, great report, EXCELLENT pictures :)
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
I concur. The P.A.F. is a Rail. So is the even scarcer . . .

It’s quite fascinating how
a very simple appearance can hide many meaningful details and a rich history.
I must say I am disappointed! 😉
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...
That is good education
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 ...
Highly informative, Nico
Thanks for the ‘deep dive’ on this-always learning! David
