Looking for more information about the Omega 1894 Limited Editions
I recently acquired one of the LE 1894 pieces featuring the non-chronometer c269 (often referred to as the 30T2rg) movement. I understand this particular dial was made only for the Japanese market and usually was sold as part of a set of three watches. At least, that is what the seller told me.
1. Can anyone tell me more about this series of watches
2. Can anyone tell me or post a picture of the box that these watches came in. Either the set piece or an individual watch.
Thank you,
Larry

Franco, can you define the 30T2rg nomenclature?
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

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...
The picture you show of the case is what my watch
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...
Welcome to the forum Larry!
Hi larry Welcome to the forum. There have been a few examples that collectors "upgraded" depending on how you look at it...and swapped out the 269 for a 30T2Rg. In any case you have a stunning watch. Welcome to the forum. best regards Bill Sohne
