Omega Watch Co., Movement No. 7065681, Case No. 8227209, Ref. CK 700 AD, Cal. 35,5 S-T1, 41 mm, circa 1934
An aviator's extremely rare, early wristwatch with auxiliary seconds, so called "1928 German Airforce pattern"
Case: steel, screw back, movement protection cap, reeded turnable bezel. Dial: enamel, black.
This is an early pilot’s watch with a black enamel dial and contrasting luminous Arabic skeleton numerals. The bezel rotates and has an index arrow for setting the estimated flight time. A ball-shaped crown sits on a long tube to enable the user to wind and set the watch while wearing gloves. The lugs have been soldered on to accommodate a strap bracelet, so that the watch can be worn either on the wrist or on the thigh just above the knee.
