··Adam @ ΩFMore like a clock, I think, for dealers in the '40s. Very cool piece.

··Ash @ ΩF@Bill Sohne Is a clock nut and might be able to tell you more, they're a bit left field for most watch collectors

·Looks to be an early 1940's desk/window chronometer, with a 59-8D-SCS movement, which is a dead seconds movement ( meaning the seconds hand doesn't sweep but ticks like a quartz clock )
I think these are aluminium and I've seen them before with a drop seconds hand, although yours is probably original too as it does seem to match

··Bill @ ΩFVery cool should be a 59-8d -SCS .
When it runs the second had jumps from second to second as if it has a quartz movement inside , right ?
This was the lowest cost version in a simple metal case , it is actually my favorite version and I wish I had one !
Good hunting

Agree. Probably a dealer item, sitting on the desk of the shop, allowing for precise setting of the customers' watches. Very, very nice 👍

Thank you all for your help.

··Ash @ ΩFUnless you're planning to keep it on your desk and use it I wouldn't have it sent off for service.

·By the way...
Is this the first occurrence of a genuine Grandfather's Clock on OF? 😁

·I'm quite sure I saw the movement in my old Omega books. I post the technical sheet when back home. it has a double barrel as far as I remember.

·Nice clock. And if I were you I would have it service just make sure they know what they are doing there are some incompetent clockmakers out there I know. Also there is a hole on the back I bet that's for adjusting the time for fast and slow and the nob with Omega for winding it and the other plain nob with arrow for setting the time. I am also a clock nut I collect any thing that tells time wristwatches pocket watches and clocks have slowed down on clocks since I moved to MT one thing about Montana there is nobody that repairs them only one watchmaker in Bozeman MT and he stopped working on clocks and some times won't touch some watches I bring in. Been shipping most watches out of state for service kind of a bummer I like doing things local. But great Omega clock your grandfather left you. And I bet it was a shop clock in a store that sold Omega watches.

··Bill @ ΩFThanks. Thats the knob With omega that is stuck and i can't wind it. Also i know only one clock repairer in my area and don't really trust he has the knowledg to repair it due to the age of the clock. I live in a small town in Portugal and this kind of expertise is harder to find.
Thanks for your help.
Hi
If your not comfortable, then hold off! It's a complicated caliber. One time My watchmaker had one in for repair and he asked if he could borrow it to use as a guide ..... he was successful repairing the other one.... but took time.
