This is, without a doubt, the nicest example of these hard to find Air Ministry issued WW2 Omega RAF pilot’s watches that we have ever seen. Issued to RAF pilots and navigators, flying amongst other things, in Spitfires, these watches are simple and beautiful to look at yet very robust with one of the best manual winding, chronometer-rated movements Omega ever produced, the famous cal. 30T2. The superb original dial is in perfect condition signed “Omega Swiss Made” and with rail-track minutes and original blued-steel hands. With its original full-length alloy case in superb condition with fixed bar military lugs and military issue RAF stores marking 6B/159 and Issue Number, 6148, stamped on the stainless steel case-back, this is a perfect piece of military history, ready for everyday wear!.
