hmmm.... 30 mm chronometre Omegas.... aka 30T2SCRg and the 30T2Rg

Hi rishad771


Omega made about 3 million 30 mm movements from 1939 to 1962.  Omega's records are not organized to the point of giving us numbers of only the  "Rg"  (index regulated 30T2SCRg and 30T2Rg ).  But after years of searching for them and talking with many collectors and people at Omega vintage info a number of about 20,000 seems to be about right. 

The typical 30 mm chronometres were is simple snapback case  in two sizes 33 mm and 35.5mm.  Over the years I have seen about 6 33 mm gold examples for every 35.5 mm gold example.  The steel examples seen less often in comparison to the gold examples.    I guess back in the day ( mid 1940s and 1950s...)  you go and ask for the best Omega had to offer the salesman says "oh the 30 mm chronometres, would you like steel or gold? ".  I could see the buyer saying " I want the best,  I will take a gold one."....

Omega did also make some in screwback cases some in all steel and some steel with 14k pink gold bezel.

here is a 35.5 steel screwback case..





here is an example 35.5 steel screwback case with 14k pink gold bezel



Here is a 33 mm 14k yellow gold with Box




They are great watches....

Heck any of the Omega 30 mm movements hould be capable of keep very accurate time, if they have been properly maintained.


Good Hunting
