Specialist note

According to the Archives of Omega, the present watch was delivered to Serbia on 25th July 1939.
It stands out by its wonderfully preserved and very handsome original black dial with red-gilt baton indexes and gilt telemetre and tachymetre scales. The condition overall is extremely good.
The caliber 33.3 CHRO movement was created in 1933 by Lémania. Very precise and highly reliable, the caliber 33.3 CHRO was well regarded and some 14,000 pieces were produced up to 1952.
