Omega has a distinguished track record in the field of chronographs and the present watch is a wonderful example of the brand’s expertise both in terms of technical and visual innovation. Appearing to be a monopusher chronograph, the start and stop functions are in fact triggered via the top pusher, whereas the reset function is triggered via the pusher placed co-axially within the crown. Housing the Omega’s iconic caliber 33.3, the steel case is entirely satin finished other than the pushers and the bezel. The stimulating look of the present lot is obtained via the potent mix of bold Arabic numerals on the bezel with prominent red ‘12’ and numbers 1 to 11 in black, and the three highly legible scales printed on the dial. So iconic was this model within the Omega collection that they latter reissued it within their Museum Collection in 2013 as the ‘Museum Chronograph 1945’. The present lot will impress the gentleman collector looking for a classic, refined chronograph of exquisite style and elegance.
