Omega Cal. 30T2 Manual Wind Watch Movement 17 Jewels 30mm Vintage 1940s Parts

About this item

An original vintage Omega hand-wound wristwatch movement, sold uncased. The bridges are stamped "OMEGA", "SWISS" and "17 JEWELS", and the movement serial number 10981491 is stamped on the barrel bridge, which places it around 1946. The movement measures 29.8 mm in diameter (caliper photo), the size of Omega's famous 30 mm calibre family; its bridge layout matches the 30T2. A good donor or restoration base for a 1940s Omega wristwatch, or a display piece for collectors.

Brand heritage

Omega was founded by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1848 and took its name from its celebrated 1894 calibre. The 30 mm manual-wind calibre, introduced in 1939, became one of Omega's most respected movements and powered many civilian and military wristwatches of the 1940s and 1950s.
