Notes

This set of watches was released in 1994 to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of the founding of Omega. On this occasion, the company utilized the famous 30mm wrist chronometer caliber, introduced in the 1930?s, placing it in a modern case with dials reminiscent of those used in the 1930?s, 40?s and 50?s.
