Description

Extremely rare and special OLYMPIC chronometer chronograph Olympia Mexico 1968, Waterpolo Timer with box. NOS condition, never used in original box. This model was used as timer at the water polo olympic games in Mexico in 1968. Technically based on the Lemania caliber 1130 Omega developed this to their caliber 1350. The chronograph starts and stops with the center pusher (black) at 12, it resets with the pusher (red) at 2. As a very special feature it can be used through a remote control (mechanically) with the included cable. Museum piece, highly adorable, with fantastic history.
Actually this model was sold as well under the “Longines” trade mark.

Estimated value: € 4,800.00
