Gents Omega Suveran Wrist Watch, 1944

UK POSTAGE ONLY FOR THIS ITEM

Gents Omega Suveran wrist watch, 1944.

The watch has a 16 jewel 30T2 SC PC hand-winding movement which is working nicely. The SC letters refer to centre seconds, which is a rare variant than the sub seconds version, and PC is for the shock proofing system. The movement is signed with the Omega name and it has the serial number 10,145,794 which dates it back to 1944.

The watch measures 35mm diameter excluding the original winding crown and the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition, just light surface scratching to the back. The back of the watch is signed Omega Suveran and the inside is signed with the Omega logo and case reference 2425-2.

The Suveran, which translates to “Sovereign” in Swedish, was produced by Omega exclusively for the Swedish government to sell in an effort to boost their economy during and after WW2.

The later lens is in lovely condition.

The signed dial has been refinished at some time in the past, probably quite a while ago. The hands are the originals, the infill has been removed over the years.

Later leather strap with vintage Omega buckle, later in date than the watch, probably 1960s.

The watch comes in a new presentation box.

NB: Where we have specified a year of manufacture, this is based on hallmarks or serial numbers with published databases. The 'date of manufacture' given by SellingAntiques will vary slightly as the website only works to decades, not specific years.
