It's a '44 ref 2242 with an uncommon . . .
. . . 18 jewel 30T2SC movement.
The standard version - which accounted for 99% of production - has 16 jewels. Omega offered to upgrade the movement to 18 jewels; two customers - the Brazilian agent and the RCAF - took them up on it.
The additional jewels are in the bridge and plate supporting the center wheel.
Unusually, they are not ruby red - they're clear.

Great watch dear Art! The 30T2 is a real workhorse from Omega! Tough and reliable and most precise...
... it equipped many popular references. Love the military dial design! Will return later with some shots to play!! Cheers! Abel
I'm lost, Walter; the 30T2SCrg had 16 jewels . . .
. . . and interestingly enough,30T2rg (subsidiary seconds) movements . . . . . . had 17, but don't recall jewel counts over 18 in any 30 movement. I'll have to check my sources. Intrigued, Art ...
Just arrived from the Austrian Alps with a short
layover in Pennsylvania. The Felix is a beautiful Chronograph and the strap is the most comfortable leather I have ever worn. More pictures on this one coming soon. Best, Tim ...
I'm assuming the pusher at 10 . . .
. . . starts, and the one at 2 re-sets. Interesting variation on the bullhead theme, Tim . . . don't think I've ever come across it before. Art
Hi Art. Yes and yes. There is quite a good
And unexpected, as in surprised, article on an “H” website about the Felix by Habring2. This is my fourth Habring2 so you might say I am hooked and delighted!😎
The Habrings make such terrific watches, and their customer service is imbued with warmth and a personal touch
A winner in my book, congrats on the Felix!
Fantastic piece, Tim!
Never seen that type of date hand on a Habring before - good choice
One of the coolest shots of a Ferris wheel :)
Maybe they should always have a watch on them
First Joe's perpetual, now . . .
. . . your annual! I really should take one of my G O perpetuals out of the safe deposit box and take it out for a spin . . . it's been quite awhile since their last outing. Art
An honor to receive your inaugural post on Wrist Scan! . . .
. . . and thanks very much for sharing. Cordially, Art
Nice one!
And I think think this is the radiologist/MRI patient’s “NO METAL” watch ...
Saw him perform once, with Jimmy, no less . . .
. . . on their '95(?) tour with an Egyptian backing orchestra. Not many regrets in my life; missing out on Zeppelin live is one of them. Art
Missing Zeppelin live ...
Your in good company. I did get to meet Robert a few years back, it was fun and very interesting, but that story is for another time and place.
I seem to wear it more than any other watch I own.
Somehow it feels right when I put it on ...
'90s vintage? . . .
. . . had the '09 50th anniversary model for awhile, let it go, and now musing the compact version with a similar dial design. El Primeros are fab, no doubt about it . . .
Today in a miracle city ... with a little miracle on the wrist...
Have a great weekend folks! Mo ...
What a splendid shot!
Please be careful not to get it wet, or drop it in the lagoon 😉. Best, Tim
Another very hot day forecast here - and an Omega in the morning coolness of the garden:
Have a great weekend all! G. ...
