Omega

Omega 33.3... In all simplicity.

I was lucky enough to play with it for some hours.



Almost at the sme level than a Longines 13 ZN, in terms of beauty.

Enjoy!

you are correct Nico, these are rare and beautiful!  one doesn't come accross these easily!  Matt

Now, I know...

Hi Amanico

That is stunning.......   looking forward to more pics....


I recently got this Mido Multichron...  been looking for one for years...  and really happy with the overall condition of this example...  Notice the sweep second and the min register are located on the center pinon.












The case is a Borgel watch case design  same chronograph case used by Patek and Movado to say the least.  The movement is a Mido caliber 1300 , which is based on the Valijoux's  13"' family.  So the movement is very special to me ..... SubitbertW did a superb write up on Valjoux 13''' family . 

here is the link to it...

Good Hunting

Very nice, Bill! Also a favourite of mine. The caliber is superb, the decagonal FB case is to dream off, the textured pushers are so sweet and they came with quite a few dial variations. Not the biggest of watches with 35mm if my memory serves me well, but very desirable for its centre minute and second chrono... The first one together with the 13zn... Yes we are in good company! Waterproof, shockproof, antimagnetic...this watch has it all to please.

Ive been tempted as i like the design and movement/hand technology, but ive been holding off until my car is serviced next month.

I'm wondering if vintage chrono's may be my next theme. I've been there before so why not go there again.

This black dial model is stunning. And the hands are the original ones.

When a superb dial combines with a very nice movement...
When elegance combines with sport...

By the way, hereafter is a scan of a vintage Omega catalog with the CK 2077.

. . . into the lion cage, Nicolas.  You're driving us all crazy!

Yep that is The one dream watch. Well, at least for me. Much more ellusive than the wonderful 13zn, alas. The 33.3 chro with screw back or not has been on the top of my list for quite a while now. The exemplar displayed here is one of the most desirable of them all.... Congratulation to the lucky owner, and thank you for your nice presentation. 

I have seen its owner facing some impressive offers, and he refused them all...

He's in total love with this Chrono. What I can totally understand.

Best,

Nicolas

 

I'm not sure if i prefer the black or off white dial. I has the same movement in a much less impressive case, snap back, rectangular pushers so not waterproof like your example. If only we knew then what we know now.

A very poor pic as are most of my old watches as i was a late entrant to digital technology. G

1933 "olympic games berlin" chrono..... had that for many,many years. lost it in a taxi in cologne, germany, once and the taxi driver brought it back......but would swap for the thread starter.....kind regards. achim
