Description
At its heart beats the legendary Calibre 321, the same movement that would later earn the Speedmaster its place on the moon, here paired with the distinctive and collectable alpha hands. The absence of crown guards reveals the watch’s elegant pre-moon architecture, showcasing designer Claude Baillod’s original vision. With its 18.4 million serial number firmly placing it in 1961’s production. Fitted on its original 7912 bracelet with no.6 end links, and an Omega marked crystal, this watch offers a honest and unaltered 2998 reference as collectors want to find them.
Why it stands out:
– Green turned DON tacky bezel.
– Alpha hands, absent of crown guards and straight lug case.
– Original 7912 bracelet and no.6 end links.
What you should know:
– Some minor aging to dial /lumimous markers/hands.
– Normal signs of wear corresponding to age.
– Normal signs of stretch, also corresponding to age.
General information:
As described above and shown in the pictures, this watch is well‑preserved and in unaltered condition, with all original parts present, right up to the Omega‑signed crystal. The bezel displays a dark green tone—more visible in certain light—giving the watch a very cool and distinctive character. The case shows no signs of polishing, with both the pushers and winding crown original and correct. The Cal. 321 movement has been checked by our watchmaker and runs with strong accuracy, with all chronograph functions performing exactly as they should.
