- To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the caliber 27 CHRO C12, the Omega reference 3191.50.00 was launched in 1992 as a limited edition of 999 examples. - One of the most impressive milestones in the history of horology, the first Omega chronograph watches fitted with the caliber 27 CHRO C12 were released in 1942. - The movement was further improved and later renamed caliber 321, which was housed in various models including all the Speedmasters until 1968. - Omega debuted three limited models, all of which had cases in 18K yellow gold, to commemorate its Jubilee anniversary. - The present watch numbered 100 belongs to the first series, of which 999 were made. These examples comprised a caliber 863 movement and, for the first time in a Speedmaster, a sapphire-crystal glass. - Offered in overall excellent condition and further complimented by its full set of accessories, this handsome gold Speedmaster is one for the discerned Speedy fan to add to their collection of rare Speedmasters.
