Here are some of its features:
- Pioneering "double quick-set" day and date features - Omega created the caliber 1020 and higher jeweled 1022 movements with a double quick-set capability for convenient setting of the day and date.Though many connoisseurs associate the idea of the double quick-set watch with Rolex, which first offered the President model with this "new" feature in late 1990, Omega was a pioneer of the technology in large scale production watches, evidenced by this example made about a decade before.
- Full size retro case - Its diameter is 35mm, one millimeter smaller than a Rolex Datejust
- Uncommon Omega ref. 1173 bracelet - This bracelet has an interesting design and is seldom seen.
- Strong black dial - The original dial has had a true expert refinishing.
- Faster beat (28,800 bph) balance system for greater accuracy
It is fully Omega down to the new Omega crystal and Omega waterproofing gasket! It presents in true expertly restored condition.
Photos of the inside available upon request.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate attesting to its performance.
