Omega

Hi!

This Omega Officer has just arrived.

It has a fantastic copper patina.

Normally there are two Officer models, CK 2299 and CK 2165.

CK 2165=from 1940 and 26,5 T2. CK 2299=from 1942 and 26,5 T3.

BUT this one has stampes 797 on the case back and on one of the lugs ???

The back of the case looks like CK 2299, but there is a case number engraved.

Can anyone help mee on this one???     797???     Is it a 26,5 T2 or T3?

Movement no. 9408890

Case. no. 10260754

Movement ?

Age: 1941 (from the movement serial number)

Best Thomas

Hi Thomas,

It is an easy explanation: the 3 digit number on inside case back and on the lug are from the case maker.

So the matching parts "stay together" in the production and delivery process.

It is not a serial number, your serial# is the 10 million....

Hope this helps.

kind regards

Erich

So i guess it is a CK 2299 and 26,5 T3 or ?

I wondered if 797 was a Ref. number, like 2299.

Had it to my watchmaker who said it is its original color.

Hi Thomas,

this is uncommon for an "Officer " - I also thought it was patina...

nice piece!

you don't see many of those over here in the UK - and I've never seen one in the 'flesh'.  Congrats and thanks for sharing.

Cheers
