What 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?

Matt, those 312s are great movements, did you add the glass back? here is another 321 that I need to restore when I get chance. also A-R

Hi,

Bellow is the information from Omega about this pw.

OMEGA – gents pocket watch (no line name)
Case # 7’620’406
Mvt # 5’895’274
Extra-flat manual winding pocket watch movement of cal. 17/19’’’ LX
leader quality NN (negative setting, with intermediate wheel fixed on the plate)
Watch reference: DB 141 LV – goldplated case ( 10 years warranty)
Manufactured and delivered to our Agents in Brazil / Nov. 15, 1927

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

Yes, Chris, I added the glass back and replaced the bezel.
