Iconeek is proud to introduce here a very attractive vintage chronograph by Omega. Produced around 1943, the model has a two-body water-resistant construction: a steel tonneau-shaped case with downturned lugs, round chronograph pushers, a screwed case back engraved inside « 430 acier inoxydable 174 ». The size between the lugs is 18 mm.
Under the domed hesalite crystal, we find a nice and unusual military-style anthracite color dial with painted luminous Arabic numerals, railway minute and second division, luminous Baton hands, three subsidiary guilloche dials for the constant second at 9, the 12-hour register at 6, the 30-minute register at 3.
Under the screwed case back, we discover an Omega caliber 27CHR C12, rhodium-plated, mechanical, manual winding, 17 jewels, index regulator, monometallic balance with timing screws, self-compensating blued steel Breguet balance spring, column-wheel mechanism. Cal. 27 CHRO C12 was launched in 1942. In 1946, the caliber was updated and renamed Cal. 321. Dial, case and movement are signed.
