Catalogue Note

Introducing in the late 1940s, Cosmic featured triple calendar and moon-phases indication, which this innovative and uncluttered dial design becomes a classic. Carrying the rarer calibre 27 DL PC AM 17P which was altered from calibre 381, this extraordinary example of Cosmic is the first Omega Calendar watch to break the tradition by showing day, month and moon-phases through apertures and telling time and date with hands.
