It is not only my obsession, but also my daughter's... Since she came back from Brittany, with some shells... " Daddy, heere are some shells for your pictures "...

The Omega CK 2913 is a significant early example from the brand's professional series, distinguished by its robust construction and focus on specific functional requirements. It represents a foundational piece in a lineage of watches designed for demanding environments, emphasizing legibility and durability. This reference is part of a trio of professional tool watches introduced concurrently, each tailored for different specialized applications, and it stands out for its particular design elements that cater to its intended purpose.
This reference typically features a stainless steel case, designed for resilience. It houses a manual-winding mechanical movement, known for its reliability and precision. The watch is fitted with a durable crystal, contributing to its overall robustness. The case dimensions were chosen to provide a substantial presence on the wrist while maintaining wearability, reflecting the practical considerations of its era.
For collectors, the CK 2913 is a highly sought-after reference due to its historical importance within Omega's catalog of purpose-built timepieces. It appeals to those interested in the development of specialized watches and the evolution of design principles focused on utility. Variations within this reference, particularly concerning dial and hand configurations, are points of interest for enthusiasts, highlighting the subtle distinctions that define its different iterations.
One was offered to me today, far from being nice as yours, along with a 165.024 and a SM 200 blue. No deal. The seller wants way too much on the 165 and I don't want a CK (bezel is problematic). The hunt continues. Cheers, Nilo
that still steals the show. A perfect 2913, which means a perfect dive watch. Darren
with an original one. It was way too fragile. I stay with my hunt of the 165.024. Makes a nice pair with my SM 300 Master. Cheers, Nilo
. . . is your possession." :-)
