Comments
The cal. 33,3, which Omega manufactured in a run of close to 20 years, serves as the predecessor of one of the most revered watch movements of all time, namely the Omega cal. 321, the movement that famously powered the Moonwatch. The connection to one of the most famous chronograph calibers of all time certainly makes the cal. 33,3 interesting from a collecting standpoint. Another reason is the relative scarcity of the movement: In the entire production run of the cal. 33.3., only 13 700 are believed to have been produced. The cal. 33,3 is a large movement. It can trace its lineage directly to its pocketwatch predecessors of the past and, at 37.5mm, the 33,3 references dwarfed other contemporary chronographs, which generally measured 34-35mm. To this day, due to their complicated dials in conjunction with their size, cal. 33,3 watches have a remarkable wrist presence. This example has it all: an expansive, cream-colored dial with a printed telemeter scale in blue with km units (allows the wearer to approximately gauge the distance between the user and an event that can be both seen and heard) and a set of blued and elegantly-tapered leaf-style hands that complement the color scheme of the dial. The dial is unrefurbished and is in incredible condition given the age of the watch. The case is also remarkably intact, with only minimal signs of wear and lugs that are symmetrical from side to side. With the strong push toward sub-40mm wristwatches gaining traction year by year, it is very likely that this modern classic will continue to grow in value, even after its strong price appreciation already.
