Hello,
I recently purchased an Omega man's watch from a private seller. It is 18k gold with what appears to be a gold dial which is gold-painted in the middle...the dial having the Omega symbol in gold and stating "Omega, Automatic, Chronometre". According to the seller, the movement is a Cal. 30.10 RARG and the watch dates to the mid-late 1940's. It is a bumper movement. Would anybody know where I could get information on this movement...reference books etc.? Thanks!

There is an Omega specific book by Anton Kreuzer called "Omega Designs". It indicates that this movement was first produced in 1942. I believe the "RG" suffix indicates that it is a chronometer grade movement.
