Here is what I found on the Omega Web Site some weeks ago... Omega found in their drawers some good old Cal 18''' which they refurbished to house them in the super big and thick white gold case ( 47, 5 mm / 16 mm ). Mono pusher for the chronograph, at 6 o clock. Enamel dial. Hunter case back. Limite

Here is what I found on the Omega Web Site some weeks ago... 

Omega found in their drawers some good old Cal 18''' which they refurbished to house them in the super big and thick white gold case ( 47, 5 mm / 16 mm ). Mono pusher for the chronograph, at 6 o clock. Enamel dial. 

Hunter case back. 







Limited to 18 pieces only.

Two issues: The price: 120 000 CHF, and the dimensions of the case, which don't give the watch some superb proportions. 

The enamel dial and the movement are to die for, on the other side... 

Best,

Nicolas

... to end as a safe queen. Absolutely silly. I am sure it is possible to find equally nice movements in vintage pocket watches, where they belong into, at a tiny fraction of that price. Marcus

the work behind to maje them as in the pics are probably extrem! So I am not sure if the price is really that high!

I see a internal angle chamfered, so hopefully almost worthy of such a price!
