Manufactured in the early 1940s, this Omega timepiece features the rare Cal.28.9CHRO movement and an SS (stainless steel) cylinder chronograph with a multi-colored and scale dial. The substantial 33mm cylinder case houses the exclusive Cal.28.9CHRO, a rare movement that is a downsized version of the renowned Cal.33.3CHRO, representing a vintage Omega classic. The intricate design and three-tone dial with unique color combinations, characteristic of Omega from this era, share a common design with the 33.3CHRO. The condensed charm unique to the smaller 28.9CHRO showcases a splendid vintage taste.
The dial displays a pink and gray two-tone color, while the sub-dials feature black, tachymeter (white), minute track (black), telemeter (pink), and pulsometer (white). Among the diverse range of Omega variations, this watch stands out for its particularly elaborate craftsmanship. It encapsulates the distinctive qualities of Omega not found in contemporaneous Patek Philippe, Rolex, Longines, Universal, Movado, and others from the same era.
