Notes

The number ?107? on the red-tipped chronograph hand of the present lot designates the quantity available of this limited edition. The other number ?107? on the lower chronograph hand designates the individual number of this watch. The number 107 was chosen for this limited edition because at the time of the watch?s launch, 107 years had passed since Omega launched its first chronograph caliber, the 19??? CHRO, launched in 1898, and was called the ?Chronoscope?. The first of these series of limited edition watches was sold by Antiquorum at the ?Only Watch? auction in Monaco on September 22, 2005.
