Matthew E. SuttonWhat a splendid watch.
It's interesting that the regulator indicates "F" and "S" for fast and slow. I wonder if this was specifically made for export since the swiss/european preference is "A" and "R" for advance, and retard respectively.
Here is an example from a 1950 Omega showing the "A" and "R" indicators.
Does anyone have knowledge on this?

Paulo Souza DaneuHi,
Bellow is the information from Omega about this pw.

Extra-flat manual winding pocket watch movement of cal. 17/19’’’ LX
leader quality NN (negative setting, with intermediate wheel fixed on the plate)

It is very uncommon the F&S in the regulator for watches that was exported to Brazil.
