Lot Essay
This steel OMEGA is highly desirable for its co-axial movement. Developed by George Daniels as an improvement to the lever escapement, the co-axial escapement was the major improvement in watch making in the 20th century. This watch was purchased new in Denmark in 2004. It comes with the original receipt, warranty card, and box.
