According to OMEGA SA, the present watch was produced on 11 July 1957 and delivered to Italy.

The Swiss watch company Omega is considered to be one of the most well-known manufactures in the worldwide watch market. It was established in 1848 with a clear focus on horological innovation – due to this it became later on the leading watch company in precision records and sports event timing. Today Omega is also known for its broad choice of fine vintage timepieces.

Combining vintage charm with a larger diameter still appealing to modern tastes, the present example of an early Omega chronograph from the 1950ies is a tempting watch for the collector.
