Essay

One of the earliest wrist chronographs produced by the storied manufacture, with an adapted pocket watch movement, wire lugs, and an unusually placed chronograph button at 6 o’clock.


Featuring a single button chronograph this watch is an outstanding piece of horological, Aviation and OMEGA's history. Issued to the Royal Canadian Air Force in the 1960s, it was produced in very limited quantities.
