OMEGA | REF 2077-3 STAINLESS STEEL CHRONOGRAPH WRISTWATCH WITH TWO TONE DIAL CIRCA 1938

The 2077 represents the first water resistant chronograph to have been made by Omega. Introduced in 1937, the reference was powered by the now renowned calibre 33.3 CHRO. Aesthetically, the watch is rightly considered a relic of a golden age of chronographs; its two tone dial with radium sword hands and Arabic numerals, are brilliantly deco, and yet its large 38 mm diameter and multi-coloured scales and registers provide a strong sense of the utilitarian.  

The present watch shows some sign of wear as is to be expected in a watch of this age, the dial however has remained beautifully preserved with its scales and finishes clear, bright and legible.
