Stainless steel OMEGA Chronomètre wristwatch. Made 1947

The Omega calibre 30T2, introduced in 1939, is a manual wind movement exclusively designed for timekeeping. It played a crucial role in establishing Omega's early reputation for crafting precise and high-quality timepieces. The cal. 30T2 serves as a sturdy yet straightforward base movement known for its versatility, with various versions produced until 1963. This iconic movement wasn't limited to civilian applications; the British military entered into a substantial contract with Omega to manufacture chronometer-rated timepieces for their soldiers, all featuring a modified cal. 30T2 movement. Chronometer-grade versions took home honors in observatory trials in 1946.
