Omega Watch Co., Swiss, Movement No. 9600352, Ref. CK 2077-2, Cal. 33.3 CHRO T6PC, 39 mm, circa 1946
A popular, large vintage wrist chronograph in near mint condition, with the celebrated cult calibre 33.3 CHRO, produced on July 2nd, 1946 and delivered to Sweden. With Omega extract of the archives
Case: steel, screw back, "Omega" buckle. Dial: silvered.
In 1937 Omega presented their first water-resistant wrist chronograph - reference CK 2077 - to the public and the model still remains one of the rarest and most sought-after steel chronographs made by Omega. At the time of production the large 39 mm size was certainly unusual, today, however, collectors consider it perfect. Due to the noticeable step between the crystal and the rim of the case, the robust steel case is also known as "step case"; it is beautifully proportioned with clear-cut edges and hardly any signs of wear. The watch is fitted with the legendary "cult" calibre 33.3, which is regarded as forerunner of the Speedmaster calibre 321.
