Omega Calibre T-17 movement
In the early 1930s, Omega introduced their excellent tonneau shaped calibre T-17 as an ideal movement for use within rectangular and other ‘shaped’ cases. The T-17 quickly gained a reputation for reliability and quality and today is one of the watchmaker’s most highly regarded vintage movements. This calibre was specially housed in a protective soft metal, anti-magnetic, movement cover.
