Notes

Oversize aviators wristwatches by Omega are extremely rare. A few different references were created by Omega (Ref. CK 700, CK 2000, CK 2042) all characterised by oversize steel cases, fixed lugs and a revolving bezel for flight times. This model was the inspiration for the re-edition of the Museum collection. For a similar example see Omega, a Journey through time by Marco Richon, page 510.
