Omega CK 2777. A military watch which is pretty high in my wish list.

Why?
A beauty, first of all. A good case size, a superb dial and set of hands.
Then, the movement, which is, if I got it well, the precursor of the one we'll see in the Railmaster, born a few years after.
And last but not least... It is an amagnetic watch. One of the first, the first being the Jaeger Lecoultre Mark 11 issued in 1948 / 1949, while this Omega CK 2777 was issued in 1953.
And I have a soft spot for amagnetic watches!
Now, I have to find a good one... With the tension ring, which is most often missing in those I saw...
Who know, maybe one day?
Best,
Nicolas
