Omega Specialities Olympic 1932 Chrono Chime Manual Winding Watch 522.53.45.52.04.001

This striking numbered edition links the world’s first minute repeater wristwatch - produced by OMEGA in 1892 - to the pocket chronographs OMEGA used to time the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Cased in 18K Sedna™ Gold. It has a “Grand Feu” enamel dial with a 925 Silver guilloché inner bezel and subdials in OMEGA’s unique “exclusive acoustic waves” pattern: an exact visual representation of the soundwaves produced by the watch’s chimes. The dial’s variety of blued hands in 18K Sedna™ Gold includes a red-varnished split seconds hand for easy readability. The chime pusher at 5 o’clock sports a charming polished and embossed music note, while the split-seconds pusher at 11 o’clock has a red hybrid ceramic ring to mirror the look of the split seconds hand. Beautifully engraved on the caseback are the words Official Timekeeper Olympic Games, Co-Axial Master Chronometer and the watch’s number. The brown leather strap with 18K Sedna™ Gold buckle includes OMEGA’s new Quick-Change patented system. The watch’s special presentation box in walnut, which features a resonance plate made of spruce to amplify the sound of each chime, includes an additional leather strap and two leather cords, allowing the “timekeeper” to wear it as a discreet pocket watch or a stopwatch around the neck. Providing the power is the most complicated calibre OMEGA has ever made: OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 1932. A fully integrated chronograph and minute repeater, which fuses both functions together in one watch movement, in order to chime the elapsed time.
