OMEGA Speedmaster Chronoscope 43 mm, Bronze gold on leather strap 329.92.43.51.10.001

Description

The Chronoscope collection has taken the legendary Speedmaster design and combined it with inspiration from OMEGA’s chronograph wristwatches from the 1940s.

This 43 mm model is crafted in OMEGA’s exclusive Bronze Gold, with an oxidised bronze dial featuring a special patina and opaline finish. Along with a polished brown ceramic bezel ring with its tachymeter scale in “vintage” enamel, the leaf-shaped hands and Arabic numerals also feature an 18K Bronze Gold PVD coating. A unique “spiral” track pattern runs beneath the numbers.

Most notably, the dial is printed with three distinctive timing scales in a 1940’s “snail” design, including a tachymeter scale, a pulsometer scale and a telemeter scale.

Presented on a brown leather strap, the watch features a silvery small-seconds counter at 9H, and a silvery 60-minute and 12-hour recorder at 3H. Inside, the timepiece is driven by the manual-winding OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9908.

Features

• Anti-magnetic: The movement is unaffected by exposure to strong magnetic fields, even those greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss).
• Chronograph: The chronograph function is a mechanism for measuring time intervals. A chronograph watch can therefore be used to time events while displaying the time like any traditional watch.
• Chronometer: Label given to a watch which has been successfully tested by an accredited and independent laboratory in order to receive a certificate compliant with the chronometer ISO 3159 standard.
• Master Chronometer Certified: Guaranteeing the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic-resistance, as set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
• Pulsometer: A watch with a scale to measure the number of heartbeats per minute.
• Small seconds: A hand on a sub-dial which tracks seconds typically it completes a full rotation in one minute.
• Tachymeter: A tachymeter watch has a function for measuring speed. It is a chronograph with a graduated dial on which speed can be read in kilometres per hour based on a 1000 metre distance.
• Telemeter: This precision tool can measure exactly how far you are from something that is visible and audible, such as your distance from a lightening storm.
• Time zone function: Allows the hour hand to be easily adjusted to different time zones without stopping the watch.
• Transparent caseback: A transparent caseback – frequently made of sapphire – makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.
