Lot Essay

Fresh to the market, this rarely seen model of Omega chronograph exudes vintage sophistication with its minimalist design “Staybrite” stainless steel case and wonderful multiscale two-tone dial exhibiting only the gentle patina of age without any restorative intervention. Known as the “chrono-tachy-tele-pulsometer”, this model is fitted with the 39 CHRO movement supplied by Lemania and known for its precision and sturdiness. The ingeniously designed dial has no less than four scales: inner and outer tachymetric scales allowing the determination of any speed between 500 and 12 Km/h, inner telemetric scale in red allowing the determination of any distance between 0 and 20 Km/h and inner pulsometer scale in green allowing the determination of the pulse between 40 and 200 beats per minute.

An identical watch is illustrated in: Omega, A Journey Through Time, Marco Richon, 2007, p. 529.
