. . . but in the back of my mind there's a quiet voice saying someone else posted this Museum piece from '08(?) many years ago.

Here are pics I took at the Beverly Hills Omega boutique . . .








. . . just before it closed twelve years ago.  (The BH Ω Boutique on Rodeo was reincarnated as a Tourbillon Boutique immediately afterwards.)  I don't recall if I ever handled one, but assume it's pleasingly hefty on account of all that white gold.

Congrats on the acquisition! 

Best,

Wanted to share my newest acquisition, the Omega Milestone 1941 Officers' chronograph. It's the ninth watch from Omega's ten piece museum collection run. Don't think I've seen alot about this watch, or the museum collection in general. Meant to evoke mili...

The museum collection kind of exists in its own world. This one happens to be my favourite, I love the dial, hinged lugs and olive pushers. Size is good too for a watch (modern or otherwise).

Lovely piece

Indeed the Museum line is in its own bubble. I assume some collectors have them all! I have some nasty thoughts about this 1941: going to an artisan casemaker who could solder some normal lugs onto it... I am bad, I know

Haha, I had the thought as well

I ultimately love the articulating lugs and feel they are unique and kind of make the watch. But a part of me thinks this would be amazing with some cowhorn lugs.

It's surprisingly heavy, haha

Even though it's white gold, it honestly feels like platinum. Sometimes I like it, but sometimes I wish it were a bit lighter for comfort.

SUPER!!!

I’m guessing the dial has a lot to do with ranging artillery…

Yes, it's meant to pay homage to 1930s officers' watches.

The chrono scales used here are telemetry and tachymeter. Meant to judge the distance of an object (say a tank firing a projectile) and the speed of an object.
