.. the picture was taken underwater... (;-) and was taken someday from somewhere on the net -specific location unknown.

What !? Not an OMEGA ??

..since it is rather small and pretty faint, but engraving like this indicates a military use. Blink and you'll miss it.. best, Ben.

It is certainly possible that some military person has used a (privately obtained) Zenith, IWC, Longines or Omega during his service career. A whole series of commissioned watches without any markings at all however is almost incomprehensible, as it is governmental property. A complimentory gift per

A good and most attractive find! Why military? The case and dial style do not suggest so at all, no way.

Long stick hands and the U-form bow would certainly enhance the piece enormously, as the catalog-picture looks absolutely lovely with it's art-deco characteristics. The case will be fully original no doubt. A rare item! Succ

.. a 30mm SC movement on board. There was a period that i was actively looking for a specimen at auctions, but it never showed up. Understand that it was a Saoudi King who ordered a number of them at the factory in Bienne, to present to relations. Should be interesting to know whether this is origin
