Designed and manufactured in the creative period of the 1950s, this 18ct yellow gold Omega chronograph features a combination of interesting details for the discerning collector.

Preserved in exceptional condition, the case of this piece, with its long and angular lugs with sharp edges, gives the watch a most attractive and distinctive appeal. Considered as a large size when it was manufactured, its proportions perfectly fit today’s standards.

The sober and well-preserved dial displays the characteristic French import ‘Fab Suisse’ script and a French tachymeter (tachymètre) scale. The triangular indexes reinforce the strict design of the case.

The timepiece is powered by the legendary calibre 321, also used on the early pre-moon Speedmaster models and widely regarded as one of the best chronograph movements ever produced.

Hidden and preciously kept by the family of the original owner until today, the present watch furthermore comes with its original Omega alligator strap and 18ct yellow gold pin buckle. The well preserved chronograph is accompanied by its period correct presentation case.
