Lot Essay
According to the Omega Archives, the case number matches a watch sold in Italy on 14 October 1937. As the Archive presents a gap in the movement numbers records, an Extract could not be issued.
A very rare and sought-after example of early oversize Omega chronograph powered by the celebrated 33.3CHRO movement, the present watch furthermore features a dial incorporating many among the most sought-after traits a vintage dial can offer to collectors. It is two-tone, with the black and grey alternation providing movement to the ensemble; it is sectorial, amplifying the size of the 37 mm. case; it is multi-scale, featuring pulsometre scale, telemetre scale, and triple tachymetre scale: an outer one from 700 to 60 units per hour, and two additional inner ones for 59 to 30 and 29 to 20 U.P.H.; it features the highly attractive and sought-after gilt graphics; and – last but most definitely not least – it is preserved in exceptional condition. A true gem for the connoisseur of remarkable vintage timepieces.
