Omega "Chronometer Speedsonic, f300Hz", Movement No. 38415258, Ref. 188.0001/388.0800, Cal. 9210/1255, 43 x 46 mm, circa 1975
A rare and large vintage wristwatch with precision quartz movement, chronograph, day and date indication, so called "Lobster"
Case: steel, screw back with Seamaster logo, tachy bezel, Omega "Lobster Tail" steel bracelet with deployant clasp. Dial: gold-coloured.
The "Speedsonic" f300Hz is usually called the "Lobster" and certainly has cult status among the collectors of Omega timepieces. The watch features a conventional ESA9162 tuning fork movement updated with a fitted chronograph module designated calibre 9210. Some few companies have used this type of movement in some models but the "Lobster" is probably the most unusual version. The watch gets its nickname from the extremely comfortable, flexible stainless steel bracelet that resembles a lobster tail.
