Omega began its journey in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland from the visionary idea of Louis Brandt who decided to open a small workshop in 1848. Over the years, the company acquired a number of Swiss brands and movement manufacturers, including Lemania in 1932. This classic Omega chronograph from the 1950ies was produced under license by “Lemania Watch Orient” who was a subsidiary of Omega at that time. The present Omega OT 2872 chronograph is an astonishing object and a very rare wristwatch for its unusual layout combining the tachymeter scale with the attractive two subsidiary counters and its very good overall condition. The pink gold circular case with rounded edges is simply perfect for proportions and preservation. The rectangular shaped pushers and the worked winding crown fit perfectly in the structure. The exciting feeling from seeing and wearing the present chronograph is undeniable, and makes it an important and special watch for a discerning collector.
