In Response To: t2pc movement ? ()

: this is what I think it says on this 1944 omega under the balance
: wheel.it is a working watch so the wheel is moving and it is
: hard to tell but does anyone know if thats correct?

Prior to 1949, Omega movements did not have calibre numbers in three or four digits as they do now

One likely possibility is that the full engraving is "30 T2 PC", which was a relatively common movement. This engraving means 30mm base plate or overall movement diameter, T2 second modification or third version of the movement, PC means shock protected. So the balance wheel should have a Incablock lyre shaped spring over it.

This is the famous 30 T2 movement used by the British (and to a lesser extent US) military during WWII. I will guess the movement has a subseconds dial rather than a center sweep seconds hand.

Good movement.

Post photos if you can. There is a link above "Including Photos In Your Messages" to assist you in how to post photos.
