A rare find from a watch collector's estate! A Swiss made Omega 30 T2 Rg mens manual wind wristwatch movement for REPAIR.

The movement is signed, "OMEGA WATCH Co, SEVENTEEN 17 JEWELS, ADJUSTED FIVE 5 POSITIONS AND TEMPERATURE,

SWISS, 10584026 (circa 1945)" with, "30 T2 Rg" stamped on the plate below the balance wheel. The balance wheel tips from side,

and has a BROKEN upper staff pivot, I do NOT know if there is any other damage to the movement. The mainspring is fully wound

and the crown does pull out to set the hands properly. There are a couple areas of light corrosion on the ratchet wheel and a couple screws.

I found the following information on the Internet, " The Omega 30 T2 RG mechanism is the first Omega caliber

to be copper colored, the luxury version of the 30 mm chronometer movement.

T2 = Upgraded (transformation), RG = Micrometer Regulator Details: Precision regulator,

17 jewels, straight line lever escapement, cut bi-metallic balance, self-compensating Breguet balance spring

Jewels: 17 rubies".

The silvered dial has gold colored applied Roman numerals / dots, with a subsidiary second register at the 6 o'clock position. The

hour and minute hand are gold colored and the second hand is blued steel (presumed original, as I have seen other similar

watches with this combination of hands. The gold colored crown is heavily worn, with loss to its plating.

The dial is very tarnished / discolored; but I see NO damage or loss to any of the appliqués. The dial is marked below the '12'

with an applied gold colored Omega logo with "CHRONOMETER, OMEGA" below.

I found the watch movement as shown in the pictures and I am NOT a watch expert, I am selling this watch "AS IS / AS FOUND;

FOR REPAIR ", with no implied warranty or guarantee and NO return, so please bid accordingly.

The collector died over 2 decades ago and collected from the 1960's -1980's;

so I presume a good clean and oil are due!

REFERENCE INFORMATION (from the Internet):

"In 1945, for the first time Omega submitted two chronometer wristwatches to the Geneve Observatory for its renowned annual timing competition,

a global contest for fine Swiss firms to showcase their watchmaking abilities. Incredibly, one of the two Omegas took first place honors,

beating out watches entered by Patek Philippe and Rolex.

Over the next several years, these chronometers with their special, award-winning Caliber 30 T2 RG movements, would go on to win numerous awards,

break long-standing timing records, outperform tourbillions, and earn their place in history among the finest observatory chronometers ever built."

Please see the detailed pictures for what is included and its condition.
