Catalogue Essay The Omega CK 2077 collection was first launched in 1937, and was the firm’s first water resistant chronograph. The present example is fitted with a highly unusual, yet intriguing dial design, most notably highlighted by a completely luminous hour ring that contrasts powerfully against the glossy black dial. Whereas normally the hour markers are luminous, on this incredible piece we see the hours painted in black on top of the luminous ring. Additionally, along the outer edge of the dial is a copper-colored tachometer scale, while the inner part of the hour ring features a silver-colored telemeter scale. The masculine proportions of this 38mm chronograph retain sharp edges throughout the case and excellent definition to the bezel and lugs. Underneath its screw down case back resides Omega’s manually wound caliber 33.3 chronograph movement. According to the Extract from the Archives, this example from 1945 was delivered to the French Colonies, and has managed to survive 70 years with hardly any signs of wear. Preserved in excellent overall condition, the watch’s highly legible aesthetics in conjunction with the remarkable historical lineage of this incredible piece is sure to impress those who bestow their eyes upon it.
