圖錄文章
Confirmed by the Omega Heritage team to be delivered to France on October 20th, 1959, the present Omega chronograph wristwatch bearing the much lauded manually-wound 321 caliber is housed in a French-made case produced by Maison Brandt Frères. Similar watches with non-Swiss made cases appear sporadically throughout auction records, as movements were exported to local markets, where the watch was completed.

The dial is the stunning cherry on the top of this delectable, slightly oversized pink gold chronograph wristwatch. It is impeccably preserved for the era, despite the lack of a waterproof case, with alternating mirrored and grené sections of the dial, overlaid with perfectly crisp applications of multi-colored scales.

The case is equally stunning, preserved in excellent condition, with thick almost sporty lugs and large rectangular pushers, and comes from the collection of an important American collector.

Omega

Swiss | 1848
Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
