Omega A fine and rare limited edition yellow gold chronograph wristwatch with tachymeter scale, bracelet, warranty and box, numbered 798 of a limited edition of 999 pieces
42.5 mm diameter
The Omega reference 3191.500 was launched in 1992 as a limited edition of 999 examples to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the caliber 27 CHRO C12. The first Omega chronograph watches fitted with the caliber 27 CHRO C12 were released in 1942. The movement was further improved and later renamed caliber 321, which was equipped in a wide array of models including all the Speedmasters until 1968.
To celebrate its Jubilee anniversary, Omega brought to the world three limited lineups, all of which had cases in 18K yellow gold. The present watch belongs to the first series, of which 999 were made. These examples comprised a caliber 863 movement and, for the first time in a Speedmaster, a sapphire-crystal glass. Offered in overall excellent condition, and further complimented with International Warranty and box, the present watch is very rare and highly collectable.
