“Like the last letter of the Greek alphabet, the ‘OMEGA’ name symbolised ultimate accomplishment.”
On the face of the watch, OMEGA has created a red enamel dial. This challenging design follows the company’s iconic brand colour and wonderfully matches the burgundy leather strap with its tone-on-tone stitching.
On the caseback is an 18K yellow gold anniversary medallion filled with red enamel. This is surrounded by a decorative engraving known as damaskeening - the same swirling pattern originally used on some of the 19-ligne “OMEGA” movements produced for the USA.
At the heart of the timepiece is the new OMEGA Master Chronometer Calibre 8929. In tribute to the famous 19-ligne Calibre, this is the first manual-winding Master Chronometer movement created by the brand.
