Omega CK2444

New arrival 😀

Omega CK2444, cal. 30T2 from ca. 1944.

Got it cleaned up and a new crystal, runs but could need a service 😀

Found this strap that looks like a A.F. 0210, is it a repro?

Tried the geiger on the lumen and it has one of the highest Radium readings I have measured yet.

That watch is dangerously awesome. Congrats on the score!

It's a beautiful watch! 106?? Never seen such a high number on my Geiger counter. You can use it to charge your phone 😀

No notice the tip on this one, it has the rounded tip, that is dipped in something.

Looks like this one:

Yes, have other Omega with a lot of radium and none of them have so readings.

Should be in a lead box 😀

Re the strap, Geo mentioned in the above pictured article did remake the straps in a fabric with a weave that looked like that, with the end dipped in dope, it could be one of those. I have one, I will dig it out and see if it looks the same.

The strap is one of George's (Geo) remakes, it's a comfortable strap and he was making them before the AF0210 replica.
Lovely watch tdn, congrats.

Nice portable fission reactor that you have there. And it also tells the time! Seriously, a very nice example and I like the strap.

Wow that is a perfect example! Very jealous 😀 Enjoy 😉

Beautiful dial, good combination with the strap!!

That's the chap. In some ways I prefer his strap to the faithful AF0210, the buckle and tang are less fiddly to use and I like the doped end, but obviously they aren't as 'authentic' to the original. Both good straps.

These are now available with the squared shoulder buckle of the AF0210 strap on the AF0210strap website.
