Omega British Royal Navy Issue Hs8 Pilots Watch No 4908, Circa 1943

Status: This item has been sold
Sold by: Oliver Sargent Antiques

For sale this fine Omega British Royal Navy issued HS8 pilots watch, no 4908, circa 1943. The original Omega signed dial has a some staining and wear but still quite bright and retains its original deep blued hand set and sweep seconds hand. The case is of a different alloy construction compared to the RAF issued version and this one retains a high proportion of its original case plate. This Navy version also has its correct spring bars and its correct flat winding crown. The stainless-steel snap back is fully signed as is the exceptionally fine Omega 16jewel 30T2 movement that is in full working order. Because of the different case construction, I think it makes the Naval version a much better alternation to the RAF Alloy version, that is very prone to bad case wear and lug end damage. Crown possibly a later replacement. Diameter approx. 33.5mm excluding the winding crown. Price £1595.00
