When I wore this watch the other day, I realized I had never taken the time to photograph it well. After looking at these, I realized I still haven't:
lint on watch
dirty mirror under watch
visible junk on not one but two lenses
[sighs heavily]
I don't think this type of watch is anybody's everyday watch . . . . and gives me a legitimate excuse to have a winder
This is one of Omega's two perpetual calendar wristwatches, this being the second edition from 1991 . . . . they produced 245 with calibre 1116 (like this one), 4 with the skeletonized 1117 and 313 with the calibre 1118 (with 21k gold rotor); thus 562 total produced.
the "engine turned" or guilloche dial pattern is called "Cloud de Paris"
calibre 1116, produced in 245 pieces
note the unusual movement serial number, apparently the only time Omega did not use the typical ten digit number
The crown is pretty standard stuff, as is the case. You can see two of the four pushers used to set the watch
The buckle is not, being an unusual (for Omega) integrated keeper
Those pushers can be operated with the key provided by Omega
Hold very still now . . . .
