A couple of classic Scientific Dial Homage Omegas

Hi Everyone,

In between all my Panerai builds I had time to put together a pair of 1894 homage builds I wanted to share. They both have classic Omega 30T2 (Cal.260) I cleaned and serviced them both before the build. The movements date back to the mid to late 40s, judging by their serial numbers. They are still running strong after all these years. I have always been a huge fan of the Omega scientific dial, it's old school, but very classy and timeless. I'm still looking for a SS case for the silver dial watch but they are few and far between. There are still a few refinements I need to do to the cases. but over all I am very happy with the results

Here is a link with a little history of the 1894 watch, it was this article that made me fall in love with this watch.

Very impressive -- "antiques?" may I say? Good job!

Very nice, why are they referred to as "scientific dials"?

Omega used the term scientific because of the 1/5 of a second and minute marker intervals on the dial that were native to chronographs and stopwatches, the same markings were also used on precision measuring and scientific instruments in the 1940's, hence the term "scientific".
