Hi all.
For sale is a 2179, powered by a 30t2 which is still running strong and keeping time.
This 2179 is not a US military version because I see no stamping or anything on the case back.
The case still looks sharp and all the old factory finish are still can be seen. Lug holes are round and the crown is correct (with no logo on it as it should be)
Movement looks clean and shiny, but it needs some lubrication for sure as it has been in my vault for more than 15 years at least.
Dial has developed a coat of patina as you can see in the pictures.
The lume on dial and hands are radium from the factory, I guess. You can see how it reacts under the uv light in an attached picture.
The asking price is $800 usd and buyer pays for shipping.
I ship by Canada Post internationally and accept Wise transfer.
Please look at the pictures carefully because they are the main part of my description. If you are still in doubt and like to ask more questions please send me a pm, I will try my best to answer as soon as I can.
Thank you for looking.
Hoi Nguyen.

Founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He travelled throughout Europe selling his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar, troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control. Due to the greater supply of manpower, communications and energy in Bienne, the enterprise moved into a small factory in January 1880, then bought the entire building in December. Two years later the company moved into a converted spinning-factory in the Gurzelen district of Bienne, where headquarters are still situated today. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as, the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success.
