Love it! Superb, my friend, superb!
Even the hands let some radium hints on the dial....
Wow!
Best,
Nicolas.
Superb. I recently read that the / 2, / 3, and / 4 were issued for the US Army.... [nt]
No message body
I can't confirm that supposition, Nicolas. I've seen images . . .
. . . of various 'slash' iterations with both US Army engraving and without. Mine is a /5 without the engraving, but there are examples with the engraving, too.
What I'd really like to discover are the terms of the contract signed between the US government and Omega, which presumably specified tight chronometer grade accuracy from movements that shared none of the components typically associated with actual chronometers.
The guys at MWR said that they never saw a / 5 issued for the US Army.
But I would also be interested to see any document about that!
Best, my friend.
Nicolas
I believe they're right . . .
. . . and retracting what I wrote about engravings on all slash iterations. For the /5, at least, there's no evidence to be found of a US Army example.

When I first started collecting vintage Omega . . .
. . . many years ago, only the best examples would do; a flawed specimen like this would've been rejected.
Now, I've come to appreciate character almost as much as condition. And need I say, I really, really like this watch.
Luckily, we all change ....
Not only our watches chance by time, we do as well!
I made the same journey, my friend.
When I started, I wanted everything perfect....
Now, I could not be more happy than finding some nice patina!

Great matching of watch...
Geo, you are the master of matching, not only watch and cloths, but watch and city as well!
