1944 Omega 6B/159 RAF Pilots Wristwatch 33mm 2292
Here we have a rare 1944 Omega 6B/159 RAF Pilots Wristwatch 2292 issued to RAF pilots and navigators during World War II, used for dead reckoning calculations, allowing pilots and navigators to determine their position based on speed, heading, and elapsed time. Featuring a 33mm duraluminum case that curves over your wrist with fine tapered lugs and fixed spring bars, perfect for NATO straps. Its curved flanks lead to a lug-to-lug length of 42.5mm and a case thickness of 12mm, ensuring a comfortable fit on your wrist. On the right side, there is a large coin-edged crown. The smooth steel bezel holds a domed crystal above a cream dial. An outer railroad minute track surrounds black Arabic numerals marking the hours, thermally blued spade and syringe hands are complemented by a sweeping second hand. At noon, we have the Omega motif. On the reverse, a snap-off case back, engraved with 6B/159, A11865 and the Broad Arrow (also known as a pheon or crow's foot), a stylised arrowhead used for centuries by the British military and government to mark property and ordnance. Inside a manually wound Omega Cal. The 30T2 SC, featuring 16 jewels that beat at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour, is highly regarded by collectors and the industry for its reliability and accuracy. The Cal. 30 series of movements was produced from 1939 until 1963. It comes paired with a well-suited aftermarket NATO strap.
