Omega Officer.....

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

It is an easy explanation...

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...... 

thanks....

So i guess it is a CK 2299 and 26,5 T3 or ? I wondered if 797 was a Ref. number, like 2299. Best Thomas

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

This is uncommon...
