I thought our watch lovers would enjoy seeing this 1940's Omega Chronograph. It is a 17-jewel simply marked "T5" and 33.3.
There is no caliber number and this watch is not shown in any of my books.
Ahhh ... the movement is a column wheel design ... very good. The chronograph also has scales for medical purposes in which you can measure pulse and respiration rates. The text on top translates to "graduated for 30 pulsations."
Very keen eye Rniederman ! It is an early Doctor's watch.
Thanks for the additional information, very helpful.
VERY NICE Jim
Can anyone help me a have a Whittnauer chronograph wristwatch I got from my moms estate its a 2 register watch. Not sure of he age but think its 50-60s era. The only other words besides Whittnauer on it says telemeter and mile in red ink. The watch is not working and needs new a glass and repair. Anyone with info can email me dpkcars@online.no
I can send a picture anyone who might need one.
Thanks for any help! Danny
Pulsations dial chrono watches usually needed special order from the manufacturer. Perhaps this is why this particular watch is not mentioned in Omega catalogue.
An extremely rare piece. Thank you for sharing.
