Vintage Military Omega cal 23.4 SC T1 waterproof Stainless steel case Case size – 30 mm without crown Damaged balance hairspring and balance staff staff Historical Note This watch is not a military-issued example and carries no known military issue markings. However, it is fitted with a genuine military dial, which is an unusual and highly interesting feature. The hands are present but damaged and no longer retain their original shape, requiring restoration or replacement depending on the future owner’s intentions. There are several possible explanations for the presence of a military dial in a non-issued case. During and after the wartime period, watches were frequently repaired using available service parts, and military dials occasionally found their way into civilian watches. It is also possible that components were exchanged during a period service repair many decades ago. Without supporting documentation, the exact circumstances can no longer be determined. The watch is offered exactly as found and has not been altered or restored. Collectors will appreciate the originality of the piece and the rare combination of an Omega Cal. 23.4 SC T1 movement with a genuine military dial. A rare and fascinating restoration project with considerable historical appeal.
