Three of a kind - Omega RAF '53
A trio that is a core part of my vintage omega collection - all with the NOS Bienne TA dials

3 X Marvellous!
But Why 3 of the same watch?
They are marvellous, of course, but I have a problem with Pilot Watches.
I'm weak, and I fear that if I begin to buy one, I will get the virus very fast, and I will have to hunt others.
If I ask you this question, it is because I noticed that there are 3 Pilot Watches that are the same, but not of the same brand:
The Omega, the JLC ( Mark XI ), and the IWC.
Is there any story behind?
Sorry to be so curious.
Best.

i ended up with 10 omega military watches in my collection, but all slightly different
the '53 is possibly the nicest of all of them.

Have three...
simply because I love the watch and given the scarcity of the TA version - whether original or Bienne NOS, I try to purchase the watch. It is a solid watch, incredibly well made, and in my humble opinion is one of the great bargains in vintage omegas. For a watch with its qualities - rare (in TA guise), military, antimagnetic, forerunner of the railmaster - it is still a bargain I think.
