Bespoke made Fowey River Omega Military Chronograph
We were approached by a customer who wanted a medium size top quality military style Chronograph preferably by Omega.
We decided to approach this project as if it was a modern request by the Ministry of Defence to Omega with the following specification
36mm diameter without the crown.
Domed armoured acrylic glass fully bonded.
Non reflective satin finish case
50m water resistant.
Proven manual wind movement Calibre 1861
Deep serrated easy wind crown.
Fully lumed
MOD crows foot emblem
Heavy 2mm stainless steel spring bars , We know they should be fixed bars but the customers wanted to be able to fit a conventional strap or bracelet at a later date.
All parts apart from the glass from the Omega factory.
The seconds hand is available in a range of colours
The case is a genuine Omega water resistant chrongraph case and the movement is the highly respected chronograph calibre 1861 with stopwatch with seconds, minutes and hour recording indicators. Still regarded by NASA as their preferred chronograph for all missions.
The dial is a modified and bespoke painted Omega speedmaster dial.
The glass as in all genuine military watches is a domed shatter proof heavy acrylic which is fully bonded to improve water resistance.
With this watch we feel that what we have created a true successor to the military Omega calibre 320 and 321 chronographs produced in the 1940s and 50s.
This particular watch has been sent to its delighted new owner but we are taking orders for others.
The price is £3000 with choice of seconds hand colour and strap The lead time is about three months.
